Create a task and monitor its progress until completion or intervention needed. Automatically polls task status and returns when task reaches a terminal state (COMPLETED, NEEDS_HELP, NEEDS_REVIEW, FAILED, CANCELLED) or timeout is reached. This is the recommended way to execute tasks when you want to wait for results.

Provide intervention for a task in NEEDS_HELP state. Send guidance to the task and optionally resume, cancel, or retry it. Use this when a task is stuck and needs human input to proceed.

Execute a multi-step workflow with automatic task creation, monitoring, and error recovery. Each step is executed as a separate task, with automatic intervention handling. Use this for complex multi-step automation scenarios.

Monitor an existing task until it reaches a terminal state or timeout. Use this when you have already created a task and want to wait for its completion.
