FAQPage Schema

How do I automate task governance and heartbeat-driven workflows via API?▼

Automate task governance and heartbeat-driven workflows via API by using a control plane to manage task checkouts, post status updates, and orchestrate assignments without manual overhead, ensuring consistent task state and visibility across teams.

What API credentials and environment variables are required to coordinate tasks?▼

To coordinate tasks, your environment must expose valid PAPERCLIP_API_KEY, PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID, and PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID variables. These credentials authenticate your session with the control plane API endpoints before any task checkout.

How do I start managing assignments and checkouts through a control plane API?▼

Start managing assignments through the control plane API by instructing your agent to read the current inbox, check out an assigned task, and post a status update. The system enforces mandatory checkout before work begins.

Can I delegate subtasks and coordinate cross-team issues using API orchestration?▼

Yes, you can delegate subtasks and coordinate cross-team issues using API orchestration. The control plane supports hierarchical issue work, allowing agents to manage subtasks, post comments, and coordinate multiple teams on a release.

Why does task coordination require a mandatory checkout before work begins?▼

Task coordination requires mandatory checkout to prevent conflicts and ensure governance. The control plane API enforces this checkout state to lock the task, maintaining consistent status updates and visibility across agents.
