Tasks & automation

Choose a task type

Type	Use case
app.function	Run a known function action with fixed inputs
agent.session	Start a workbench session for inspection, summaries or multi-step work

Generic workflow-graph execution is a reserved design, not a currently available task type.

Validate before scheduling

1. Identify the directory and confirm execution permissions.
2. Complete one manual run and inspect its business result.
3. Fix function parameters, or describe the agent goal, scope, result destination and stopping conditions.
4. Choose a one-time or recurring schedule; review the time zone and next execution time.

Understand side effects such as record changes and notifications. Repeated runs should not create duplicate business records.

Inspect results

Use task status and execution records to determine what happened. A successful trigger is not proof of the intended business result; also inspect outputs, errors and destination data.

Agent tasks require working models and tools. Function tasks require an available function and valid input. Revalidate after directory or permission changes.

Cancel and troubleshoot

Cancel tasks that are no longer needed using the available task controls. Check whether scheduling triggered before investigating permissions, models, runtime or function errors. Avoid creating duplicate schedules as a retry strategy.

See Runtime management for instance-level diagnostics.
