Tasks
Monitor, track, and manage running and completed agent work.
Overview
Tasks are running instances of plans. When you execute a plan — either from the chat panel or from a saved plan — a task is created that tracks every step of execution in real time.
The Tasks page is the primary dashboard for understanding what your agents are doing and what they've accomplished.
Task Statuses
Tasks are grouped by status at the top of the page:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Approval Required | A step needs your review before it can proceed |
| Running | The task is actively executing steps |
| Waiting | The task is queued or waiting for a dependency |
| Failed | One or more steps encountered an error |
| Finished | All steps completed successfully |
Task Details

Step List
Each step shows its name, assigned agent, current status, duration, and a brief output preview. Steps execute in the order defined by their dependencies — independent steps may run in parallel.
Loop & Branch Steps
Plans that use control flow steps render differently in the task view:
- Loop steps — Each iteration appears as a nested sub-step under the loop parent. Every iteration has its own status, duration, token usage, and output, so you can track progress per item.
- Branch steps — Only the matching branch path is shown. Skipped branches are hidden from the task view.
Step Runs & Retries
Each step may have multiple runs. If a step fails due to a transient error, it can be retried automatically. Each run tracks its own start time, finish time, token usage, and cost. The execution trace shows all runs so you can see what changed between attempts.
Token Usage & Cost
Every task tracks token consumption in real time:
- Input tokens — Tokens sent to the model
- Cache tokens — Tokens served from cache (lower cost)
- Output tokens — Tokens generated by the model
- Web search tokens — Tokens used for web search requests
A cost estimate is displayed for each task based on your organization's token pricing.
Execution Trace
Click any step to open the trace modal, which shows the full conversation between the agent and the system. This includes:
- The system prompt and instructions sent to the agent
- Each turn of the conversation (requests, tool calls, responses)
- Token counts per turn (input, cache, output, web search)
- Tool call details and results
- Web search requests and their results (when the agent searched the web)
- Run history — if a step was retried, you can view each run's trace independently
{
"action": "search_contacts",
"query": "Acme Corp",
"fields": [
"Name",
"Title",
"Account.Industry"
],
"limit": 25
}
Tip: The execution trace is invaluable for debugging. If a task produces unexpected results, check the trace to see exactly what the agent did and why.
Search & Filter
Use the search bar at the top of the Tasks page to filter tasks by name. Tasks are paginated with 5 items per page within each status group.
Real-Time Updates
The Tasks page receives live updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE). You don't need to refresh — as steps complete, approvals arrive, or tasks finish, the UI updates automatically.
