Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| start_taskA | Start a shell command as a background task and return immediately. Args: command: The shell command to run (e.g. "pytest -q" or "npm run build"). cwd: Working directory for the command. Defaults to the server's cwd. timeout_seconds: If set, the task is killed and marked 'timed_out' when it runs longer than this. Recommended for unattended jobs. Returns the new task's id and initial status. The command keeps running after this call returns — use task_status / task_result to follow it. |
| task_statusC | Check on a task: working, completed, failed, cancelled, timed_out, or interrupted. |
| task_resultA | Get a task's captured output (stdout+stderr merged). Args: task_id: The task to inspect. Works for finished AND still-running tasks, so you can peek at live progress. tail_lines: How many trailing lines of output to return. |
| cancel_taskA | Cancel a running task, killing its whole process tree. |
| list_tasksB | List recent tasks, newest first. |
