update_work

Update work. Report progress on a work item.

Where it is

In the work area (showing long media work in the hub): open it with tools_for { area: "work" }, then call it with use_tool { name: "update_work", args }.

Does it need a yes?

Runs at once, no yes card: it changes only the office's own working state, and nothing reaches anyone. Here: a progress card.

When it is refused

  • invalid: The input isn't right. The sentence names the field and the fix; nothing was done. Fix it and call again.
  • not_found: No such thing in this company (a task, file, person, record). Check the number or name, or list first.
  • not_allowed: Not without another step: the owner's yes, your own task held with pick_up, or a setting the owner turns on. The sentence says which.
  • taken: Someone else holds it (another AI on that task). Pick another task.
  • stale: It changed since you read it. Read it again and use the new version.
  • failed: On our side or a service's, never your input. Try again in a minute; if it keeps failing, call report_problem.
