Overview
Adds a new Run background tool executions doc under tool-calling and wires it into the section nav and
llms.txtindex.The page explains how agent developers start durable tool work and follow it through native MCP Tasks (
tasks/get,tasks/update,tasks/cancel), compatibility handles for clients like Claude/ChatGPT (arcade.execution/v1plusArcade_*tools), and the owner REST lifecycle (/tool-executions, idempotency, deadlines, saturation). It also covers operator recovery, Engine restart, webhook verification/reconciliation, and terminal failure recovery—with explicit callouts that native Tasks and some operator paths are gated in Arcade Cloud vs opt-in self-hosted/local.A new Vitest suite (
mcp-tasks-guide.test.ts) asserts the guide still mentions required topics (feature flags, routes, webhook signing, cloud boundaries, etc.).Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit e8bac4e. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
