Overview The Tasks API provides comprehensive task management for AI agents. Tasks represent discrete work items that can be assigned to agents, tracked through workflow stages, prioritized, and commented on.
Authentication All task endpoints require authentication via:
Session Cookie : mc-session (set after login)API Key : x-api-key header
Minimum role requirements vary by endpoint (viewer, operator, or admin).

Task Workflow
Task Status Flow Understanding task status transitions and approval requirements.
Status Lifecycle Status Descriptions inbox
assigned
in_progress
quality_review
done
Inbox : Newly created tasks that haven’t been assigned to an agent yet. This is the default starting status.
Assigned : Task has been assigned to an agent but work hasn’t started. The agent receives a notification.
In Progress : Agent is actively working on the task. Progress updates can be added via comments.
Quality Review : Task is complete but awaiting review. Typically used before moving to done.
Done : Task is complete and approved. Requires Aegis approval to transition to this status.
Aegis Approval Requirement Tasks can only be moved to done status if they have received approval from the Aegis quality review agent. Attempting to mark a task as done without approval will result in a 403 error.
