Delegate a single-shot task to a configured OpenAI-compatible model (e.g. local Ollama or OpenRouter) and return its text response verbatim.

Args: prompt: The task/question to send to the delegated model. model: Override just the model string for this call. system_prompt: Optional system prompt to steer the delegated model. backend: Named backend from models.json (base_url/model/api_key) to use instead of the default DELEGATE_* env vars. model, if also given, overrides the model within that backend. capture_transcript: Log the full message exchange for later retrieval via get_delegation_transcript. Off by default; useful when comparing models (e.g. a bake-off) rather than for routine use.

Delegate a multi-step task to a model with its own tool-use loop (read_file, write_file, run_bash) scoped to working_dir. Runs until the model stops calling tools, hits max_iterations, or exceeds timeout_seconds. Returns only the final answer, not the full transcript.

The delegated model gets unattended file/bash access within working_dir for the duration of the call - point it at a directory you're comfortable it can read, write, and execute commands in.

Args: task: The task instruction to give the delegated model. working_dir: Directory the model's tools are scoped to. model: Override just the model string for this call. max_iterations: Stop after this many tool-call rounds. timeout_seconds: Wall-clock budget for the whole task. backend: Named backend from models.json (base_url/model/api_key) to use instead of the default DELEGATE_* env vars. model, if also given, overrides the model within that backend. capture_transcript: Log every model message and tool call/result for later retrieval via get_delegation_transcript, instead of just the final answer. Off by default; useful when comparing models (e.g. a bake-off) rather than for routine use.

List the most recent delegate_task / delegate_agentic_task calls (backend, model, task, duration, iterations, success, token usage, USD cost if the model has a pricing.json entry, truncated result), most recent first. Answers "what did the delegated model actually do" without re-running anything.

Args: limit: Max number of records to return (default 20).

Full message transcript (every model message and tool call/result) for one delegation, if it was run with capture_transcript=True. Get the id from list_recent_delegations. Returns an error string if no transcript was captured for that id.

Args: delegation_id: The id field from a list_recent_delegations row.
