FAQPage Schema

How do I automate Sapling work item execution for task queues?▼

Automate Sapling work item execution by claiming the next pending task via the Sapling MCP server, processing work items like planning, coding, or reviewing, and then completing or failing them based on the execution result.

Can I filter Sapling work items by task type before claiming them?▼

Yes, you can filter Sapling work items by specific task types such as plan, code, or review, as well as by associated application, ensuring the automated work execution aligns with your specific workflow needs.

How does task automation handle human input requests in Sapling?▼

Task automation handles human input requests by utilizing the Sapling MCP server's request_human_input dependency, allowing the automated work execution flow to pause and request manual intervention when necessary.

What is needed to set up Sapling MCP server integration for automated task management?▼

Setting up Sapling MCP server integration requires access to the Sapling API and the specific MCP server dependencies for claiming, completing, and failing work items to enable automated task management.

Why does automated work execution fail to claim the next work item in Sapling?▼

Automated work execution may fail to claim the next work item if there are no pending tasks in the Sapling queue or if the task type filter does not match any available work items.

Do I need a Sapling account to automate task execution with MCP server?▼

Yes, automating task execution requires a Sapling system environment with an active API connection to manage the work item queue and execute tasks through the MCP server integration.
