tool.task_list.description

Lists the conversation's tasks with each one's address, status and latest update, so the model knows what it can wait for.

Tasks are subagents, workflow runs, shell commands, terminal sessions and dev servers. The addresses it prints are the ones task_wait takes.

Good to know

  • You see the same tasks in the Tasks pane (More options → Tasks), where you can stop them. The model can stop only a dev server, with preview_stop.

Parameters

This tool takes no parameters.
