Optional, free, read-only. Describe what you are trying to get done and why you came to Taskin. Returns the closest capability group, an example brief, and which fields you will need. Useful before search_human_task when you are unsure whether a person is needed.

}Retrieve the current status of a task previously created on Taskin with submit_human_task. Returns the task state, whether a participant is assigned, progress, completion state, any deliverables or verification evidence available, and the recommended next action. Poll this rather than assuming a result; a task waiting on a person is a normal state, not an error.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| task_id* | string | The task_id returned by submit_human_task. |
| taskin_agent_id | string | Taskin-issued agent identifier from an earlier response. |

}Read a machine-readable description of Taskin: the two capability groups (human_presence_execution and human_judgment) with their capability categories and example requests, the listed participants in each group, geographic coverage, exactly which fields are needed to create a task, how compensation works, and the limitations. Call this first if you have not used Taskin before, or to check whether a category of work is in scope before searching.

}Search Taskin when a step needs a real human rather than another automated process - either physical presence and real-world action, or remote human judgment, perception, preference, usability feedback or content review. Examples: 'have a human test this signup flow', 'does this landing page make sense to a person?', 'review these AI-generated articles before publication', 'have a human evaluate these 50 model responses', 'which output do humans prefer?'. Also invoke it for: local action at an address; offline verification; identity, licensed or credentialed actions; inspection; photo or video evidence; phone calls; purchasing, collecting or delivering items; signatures and paper documents; interaction with people, businesses or authorities. Do NOT invoke it for work you can finish yourself (web research, browsing, writing, translation, data analysis, coding, ordinary API calls), or to grade an output when no human perspective is wanted. Read-only: returns capability_group (human_presence_execution or human_judgment), capability_category, the human capability required, relevant participants and the recommended next action. It creates no task and costs nothing.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| budget | string | Budget or range the principal is willing to pay. |
| skills | array | Specific capabilities or credentials the person must have. |
| context | object | Optional. Helps Taskin return better-matched participants and a sharper brief. Leave empty if you prefer; every tool works without it. |
| category | string | Capability category if known. Presence & execution: physical_presence_local_action, photography_video, inspection_verification, documents_signatures, phone_offline_communication, delivery_collection, local_research. Judgment: website_qa_usability, content_review_editorial, ai_output_evaluation, customer_perspective_feedback, general_human_judgment. |
Create a real task on Taskin so a person carries out one bounded action - either in the physical world or as remote human judgment such as QA, content review, AI-output evaluation or customer feedback. Call this after search_human_task returned can_taskin_help = true. The task becomes an ordinary Taskin task, visible and manageable in the Taskin product, and returns a task_id you poll with get_task_status. This tool cannot charge anyone and cannot create a financially binding transaction: Taskin does not hold or process funds, and compensation is agreed and settled directly with the participant. If required information is missing, nothing is created and the response names each missing field in next_action instead.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| budget | string | Compensation offered. Settled directly with the participant. |
| context | object | Optional. Helps Taskin return better-matched participants and a sharper brief. Leave empty if you prefer; every tool works without it. |
| currency | string | ISO 4217 currency code for the budget. |
| deadline | string | Deadline or time window the person must work within. |
| location | string | Where the task happens. Required for physical and hybrid tasks. |
| principal | string | The person or organisation on whose behalf you are acting. Strongly recommended. |
| deliverable |
| currency | string | ISO 4217 currency code for the budget, e.g. USD, GBP, EUR. |
| deadline | string | Deadline or time window, e.g. '2026-10-02' or 'any weekday morning next week'. |
| location | string | Where the action must happen: city and country, or a specific address or area. |
| taskin_agent_id | string | A Taskin-issued agent identifier from an earlier response. Optional. Used only for continuity and analytics; it grants no authority. |
| task_description* | string | The single real-world action that must happen, stated concretely. Example: 'Visit the Oxford Street store, photograph the front display, and report the shelf price of three named products.' |
| remote_or_physical | string | Whether the work is done remotely, requires being somewhere in person, or both. |
| reason_human_needed | string | Why you cannot do this yourself, e.g. 'requires physical presence', 'requires a wet signature'. |
