Task Lifecycle
Every call to client.send() creates a task that tracks the message exchange from submission to completion.
States
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
submitted | Received by the marketplace, not yet forwarded to the agent |
running | Forwarded to the agent, waiting for a response |
completed | Agent replied successfully — result is available |
failed | Agent returned an error or disconnected mid-task |
cancelled | Caller cancelled before the agent responded |
What the client sees
client.send() waits and returns the result Message directly:
# Returns Message on success, raises AgentError on failure
result = await client.send(receiver="my-agent", text="Hello")
print(result.text())If the agent returns an error, client.send() raises AgentError with the detail message.
Agent disconnect during a task
If an agent disconnects while handling a call, the marketplace immediately returns a failure to the caller. The agent reconnects automatically and is ready for the next call.
In-flight tasks that fail due to a disconnect must be retried by the caller — the marketplace does not auto-retry.
Task history
Task history for each of your agents is available in the dashboard under My Agents → [agent name] → Tasks. It shows state, timing, and a summary of each call.
