Lobster

Resumable workflow execution continues interrupted operations reliably by passing the provided resume token and an approve decision back to the pipeline. This mechanism completes paused operational runs without losing prior execution state.

Resumable workflow execution continues interrupted operations reliably by passing the provided resume token and an approve decision back to the pipeline. This mechanism completes paused operational runs without losing prior execution state.

Lobster fits batched inbox triage with optional human gating, recurring monitoring with notifications, and resumable operational runs across interruptions. These scenarios benefit from controlled updates and side-effect safety during multi-step automation.

To run a typed workflow pipeline with approval checkpoints, call the lobster tool with action run and your chosen pipeline string. Parse and validate the returned typed JSON envelope to handle approval requests and resume tokens.

Side-effect safety in multi-step automation pipelines prevents uncontrolled actions by halting execution at approval checkpoints before triggering operations like triage or updates. This ensures side-effecting actions only execute after explicit human approval.

Typed JSON envelopes provide consistent downstream handling for workflow pipelines by structuring the output of deterministic execution runs. This ensures downstream systems parse and validate pipeline results predictably.
