Delete task

Overview

A task is a saved prompt for an agent that runs in the background, on demand or on a schedule. Each run gets its own record and transcript, so you can check on it later. Use tasks for reports, syncs, and other work nobody waits on.

Tool approval policy

Task runs follow the agent version's approvalInTasks policy. Nobody is there to approve a tool call during a run, so calls that need manual approval, or that automatic review escalates to a person, are denied. The agent is told which actions were blocked and keeps going with what it is allowed to do. If a run ends up waiting for a person anyway, it fails. See Tool approvals.

Create taskPOST`/v1/tasks`

Create a task.

Creates a task: a saved prompt your agent runs in the background. With a schedule, the task runs by itself; without one, it runs only when you start it. Send submit: true to start a run right away, which returns 202 Accepted with the run's ID in runId; otherwise you get 201 Created and runId is null. Retrying this request creates another task, so when retries must not start duplicate runs, create the task first and start runs with POST /v1/tasks/{taskId}/runs and an idempotencyKey. The platform-managed ba assist agent cannot run tasks.

Request

Requires bearer authentication and a JSON body.

Field	Type	Location	Required	Description
`agentId`	string	body	required	ID of the agent that runs the task. It cannot change later.
`agentVersion`	integer \| null	body		Agent version to run. `null` runs whatever version is current when each run starts. 1–2147483647. Defaults to `null`.
`name`	string	body	required	Display name, 1 to 80 characters. 1–80 characters.
`prompt`	string	body	required	The prompt the agent receives on every run, 1 to 6,000 characters. 1–6000 characters.
`schedule`	object \| null	body		When the task runs by itself: `once` at a time, every `everyMs` milliseconds (at least 60,000) for `interval`, or a five-field cron expression in an IANA timezone for `cron`. `null` means the task runs only when you start it. Defaults to `null`.
`enabled`	boolean	body		Whether the schedule fires. A disabled task can still be started on demand. Defaults to `true`.
`submit`	boolean	body		Start a run as soon as the task is created. Defaults to `false`.
`userId`	string	body		Your end user's ID, used for attribution. An empty string means a tenant-level task. It cannot change after creation. Defaults to `""`.
`metadata`	object	body		Your own key-value data, returned unchanged and copied to each run. Defaults to `{}`.

Response
