complete_task

To signal task completion, an agent calls a tool with an explicit status like 'success', 'blocked', or 'partial' to formally close the task execution cycle and prevent indeterminate states.

Tasks are left indeterminate when agents lack an explicit task completion mechanism to report the final outcome, failing to communicate whether the workflow succeeded, is blocked, or is partial.

The best way to report a blocked agent status is to explicitly signal task completion with a 'blocked' state and provide a detailed summary of the unresolvable error encountered during execution.

Yes, you can signal task completion with a 'partial' status to report workflow progress, requiring a detailed summary of accomplishments and any outstanding work remaining in the task lifecycle.

You need to formally close out task execution cycles when an agent finishes processing, ensuring a clear summary of accomplishments is provided for effective task lifecycle management.

Relying on implicit task completion prevents effective task lifecycle management, as agents cannot formally communicate a final outcome or provide detailed summaries of outstanding work to unblock dependencies.
