id: quick_task\n    type: script\n    # Uses workflow-level timeout (2h)\n    script: \"print(\u0027Quick task\u0027)\"\n    \n  - id: custom_timeout_task\n    type: script\n    timeout_seconds: \"30m\"               # Override with 30 minute timeout\n    script: \"print(\u0027Custom timeout task\u0027)\"\n    \n  - id: long_running_task\n    type: script\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # 10 minutes (integer format)\n    script: |\n      import time\n      time.sleep(300)  # 5 minute processing\n      print(\"Long task completed\")\n```\n\n#### Timeout-Free Communication\n\nThe workflow engine automatically uses **timeout-free communication** for long-running tasks to prevent timeout-related failures:\n\n- **Loop tasks**: Always use timeout-free communication (event-driven execution)\n- **Script tasks**: Use timeout-free communication when `timeout_seconds \u003e 180` (host timeout threshold)\n- **Other task types**: Use standard timeout-based communication\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  -

id: process_batch\n      type: script\n      # Inherits 30-minute timeout from parent loop\n      script: |\n        print(\"Processing batch with inherited timeout\")\n        # This script will use the 30-minute timeout from the loop\n```\n\n#### Best Practices for Timeout Configuration\n\n1. **Use duration strings** for readability: `\"5m\"` vs `300`\n2. **Set appropriate timeouts** based on expected execution time plus buffer\n3. **Long-running tasks**: Set `timeout_seconds \u003e 180` to enable timeout-free communication\n4. **Loop tasks**: Always get timeout-free communication automatically\n5. **Critical tasks**: Use shorter timeouts for fail-fast behavior\n6. **External API calls**: Use longer timeouts to account for network latency\n\n```yaml\n# Example: Well-configured timeout workflow\ntimeout_seconds: \"1h\"                    # Reasonable workflow timeout\n\ntasks:\n  -

Execution Dependencies:**\n- Controls actual task execution order\n- Enables template resolution and data access\n- Required for accessing outputs from other tasks\n- Validates that referenced tasks exist\n- Multiple tasks can be specified\n\n**`previous_node` - Task Connectivity and UI Hierarchy:**\n- **REQUIRED for proper task connectivity in UI**\n- Essential for workflow visualization and task linking\n- Critical for execution flow representation\n- Single task reference only\n- **Without this field, tasks won\u0027t be properly connected in the UI**\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  -

This is essential for creating dynamic workflows where tasks pass data to each other.\n\n### Basic Template Syntax\n\n```yaml\n# Access workflow inputs\nscript: |\n  customer_name = \"${customer_name}\"  # From workflow inputs\n  \n# Access previous task outputs\nscript: |\n  previous_result = ${data_fetch_task}  # Entire output from data_fetch_task\n  specific_field = ${data_fetch_task.customer_id}  # Specific field\n  \n# Access built-in variables\nscript: |\n  workflow_id = \"${workflow_id}\"\n  execution_id = \"${execution_id}\"\n  timestamp = \"${current_timestamp}\"\n```\n\n### Available Built-in Variables\n\n| Variable | Description | Example Value |\n|----------|-------------|---------------|\n| `${workflow_id}` | Current workflow identifier | `customer_processor` |\n| `${execution_id}` | Unique execution identifier | `exec_12345_abcde` |\n| `${namespace}` | Workflow namespace | `production` |\n| `${current_timestamp}` | ISO timestamp | `2024-01-15T10:30:00Z` |\n| `${started_at}` | Workflow start time | `2024-01-15T10:29:45Z` |\n\n### Task Output Resolution\n\nTasks can access outputs from other tasks they depend on:\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  - id: fetch_customer\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com/customers/${customer_id}\"\n    \n  - id: process_customer\n    type: script\n    depends_on: [fetch_customer]  # Required for template access\n    previous_node: fetch_customer\n    script: |\n      # Access entire response\n      customer_data = ${fetch_customer}\n      \n      # Access specific fields\n      customer_name = \"${fetch_customer.name}\"\n      customer_email = \"${fetch_customer.email}\"\n      \n      # Process the data\n      result = {\n          \"processed_name\": customer_name.upper(),\n          \"domain\": customer_email.split(\"@\")[1]\n      }\n      print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(result)}\")\n```\n\n### AI Agent Output Resolution\n\nAI agent tasks return structured output that requires specific access patterns:\n\n```yaml\n# AI Agent task\n- id: ai_analysis_task\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\n    system_message: \"Analyze the customer data and provide insights.\"\n    user_message: \"Customer data: ${customer_data}\"\n\n# Accessing AI agent output in subsequent tasks\n- id: process_ai_response\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\n  previous_node: ai_analysis_task\n  script: |\n    # CORRECT: AI agents return structured output\n    agent_output = ${ai_analysis_task}\n    ai_response = agent_output[\u0027ai_response\u0027].strip()\n    \n    # Additional metadata available\n    token_usage = agent_output.get(\u0027token_usage\u0027, {})\n    model_used = agent_output.get(\u0027model\u0027, \u0027unknown\u0027)\n    \n    # Process the AI response\n    processed_analysis = {\n        \"analysis\": ai_response,\n        \"tokens_used\": token_usage.get(\u0027total_tokens\u0027, 0),\n        \"model\": model_used,\n        \"processed_at\": \"${current_timestamp}\"\n    }\n    \n    print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(processed_analysis)}\")\n\n# INCORRECT: Direct access won\u0027t work\n- id: incorrect_ai_access\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\n  script: |\n    # \u274c This will not work correctly\n    ai_response = ${ai_analysis_task}  # Returns full agent object\n    # ai_response is now a dict, not the actual response text\n```\n\n### AI Agent Response Structure\n\nAI agent tasks return a structured object with the following format:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"ai_response\": \"The actual AI-generated text response\",\n  \"model\": \"gpt-4-turbo-preview\",\n  \"token_usage\": {\n    \"prompt_tokens\": 150,\n    \"completion_tokens\": 75,\n    \"total_tokens\": 225\n  },\n  \"estimated_cost\": {\n    \"amount\": 0.00337,\n    \"currency\": \"USD\"\n  },\n  \"provider\": \"openai\",\n  \"timestamp\": \"2024-01-15T10:30:00Z\"\n}\n```\n\n### Loop Task Data Access and Dependencies\n\nLoop tasks have a special execution context that differs from regular workflow tasks. Understanding how to access data within loops is crucial for building functional workflows.\n\n#### Loop Task Internal Data Access\n\nWithin loop tasks, data access works through injected context files rather than template resolution:\n\n```yaml\n# Loop task with state variables and internal task dependencies\n- id: data_processing_loop\n  type: loop\n  loop_type: for\n  max_iterations: 3\n  state_variables:\n    processed_items: []\n    total_processed: 0\n    error_count: 0\n  loop_tasks:\n    #

Debug: Print all available data\n    print(f\"\ud83d\udd0d Available inputs: {list(inputs.keys())}\")\n    print(f\"\ud83d\udd0d Loop state keys: {list(loop_state.keys())}\")\n    \n    # Debug: Print specific values\n    for key in [\u0027company_name\u0027, \u0027company_id\u0027, \u0027status\u0027, \u0027fy_folders\u0027]:\n        value = inputs.get(key, \u0027NOT_FOUND\u0027)\n        print(f\"\ud83d\udd0d {key}: {value}\")\n    \n    # Now access the flattened data\n    company_name = inputs.get(\u0027company_name\u0027, \u0027Unknown\u0027)\n    company_id = inputs.get(\u0027company_id\u0027, \u0027\u0027)\n    \n    # Process your data...\n    outputs = {\"processed\": f\"Company {company_name}\"}\n    print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(outputs)}\")\n```\n\n#### Real Example: Task Output Flattening\n\n```yaml\n# Task 1 outputs this structure:\n__OUTPUTS__ {\"company_name\": \"LTTS\", \"company_id\": \"123\", \"fy_folders\": [{\"id\": \"456\", \"name\": \"FY24\"}], \"status\": \"success\"}\n\n# Task 2 receives flattened inputs:\ninputs = {\n    \"folder_id\": \"...\",           # Workflow input\n    \"gemini_api_key\": \"...\",      # Workflow input  \n    \"list_company_folders\": {...}, # External task output\n    \"company_index\": 0,           # Loop iteration variable\n    \"company_name\": \"LTTS\",       # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"company_id\": \"123\",          # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"fy_folders\": [{\"id\": \"456\", \"name\": \"FY24\"}], # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"status\": \"success\",          # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"total_extractions\": 0,       # Loop state variable\n    \"processed_companies\": []     # Loop state variable\n}\n```\n\n#### Loop Task Special Output Fields\n\n| Field | Description | Example Access |\n|-------|-------------|----------------|\n| `final_state` | Final values of all state variables | `${loop_task.final_state}` |\n| `final_state[\"variable_name\"]` | Specific state variable from final state | `${loop_task.final_state[\"total_processed\"]}` |\n| `iterations_completed` | Number of iterations executed | `${loop_task.iterations_completed}` |\n\n#### Safe Template Resolution Pattern for Loop States\n\nWhen accessing loop final state fields, use this safe parsing pattern:\n\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  try:\n      # Template resolution with safety checks\n      final_state_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.final_state}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      processed_count_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.final_state[\"processed_count\"]}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      items_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.final_state[\"processed_items\"]}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      iterations_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.iterations_completed}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      \n      # Safe parsing with fallbacks\n      final_state = json.loads(final_state_str) if not final_state_str.startswith(\u0027UNRESOLVED_\u0027) else {}\n      processed_count = int(processed_count_str) if processed_count_str.isdigit() else 0\n      processed_items = json.loads(items_str) if not items_str.startswith(\u0027UNRESOLVED_\u0027) else []\n      iterations = int(iterations_str) if iterations_str.isdigit() else 0\n      \n      print(f\"Successfully processed {processed_count} items in {iterations} iterations\")\n      \n  except Exception as e:\n      print(f\"Error accessing loop results: {str(e)}\")\n      # Handle error case\n```\n```\n\n### Real-World AI Agent Example\n\nBased on actual WhatsApp workflow patterns:\n\n```yaml\n# AI greeting agent\n- id: greeting_agent\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: assistant_model\n    system_message: \"You are a helpful assistant. Generate a friendly greeting.\"\n    user_message: \"User said: ${user_message}\"\n\n# Send the AI response via API\n- id: send_greeting\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [greeting_agent]\n  previous_node: greeting_agent\n  script: |\n    import requests\n    import json\n    \n    # CORRECT: Access AI response from structured output\n    agent_output = ${greeting_agent}\n    ai_greeting = agent_output[\u0027ai_response\u0027].strip()\n    \n    phone_number = \"${phone_number}\"\n    api_token = \"${API_TOKEN}\"\n    \n    print(f\"\ud83e\udd16 AI generated greeting: {ai_greeting}\")\n    \n    # Send via API\n    url = f\"https://api.example.com/messages/{phone_number}\"\n    headers = {\"Authorization\": f\"Bearer {api_token}\"}\n    \n    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json={\n        \"message\": ai_greeting\n    })\n    \n    result = {\n        \"status\": \"sent\",\n        \"ai_response\": ai_greeting,\n        \"api_response\": response.json(),\n        \"tokens_used\": agent_output.get(\u0027token_usage\u0027, {}).get(\u0027total_tokens\u0027, 0)\n    }\n    \n    print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(result)}\")\n```\n\n### Complex Template Patterns\n\n```yaml\n# Conditional templates with router outputs\n- id: router_task\n  type: conditional_router\n  conditions:\n    -

template won\u0027t resolve\n  script: |\n    value = ${previous_task.name}  # Will become UNRESOLVED_previous_task.name\n```\n\n## Script Task Output Handling\n\nScript tasks must use the `__OUTPUTS__` marker pattern for proper output parsing by the workflow engine.\n\n### Required Output Pattern\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  -

They enable event-driven workflow execution.\n\n### Webhook Triggers\n\nWebhook triggers allow external systems to start workflows by sending HTTP requests.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: customer_webhook\n    type: webhook\n    description: \"Triggered when customer data is updated\"\n    config:\n      path: \"/webhooks/customer-updated\"      # Webhook endpoint path\n      method: POST                            # HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.)\n      authentication:\n        type: token                           # none|token|signature|basic\n        token: \"${WEBHOOK_SECRET}\"            # Required if type is token\n        header_name: \"X-Webhook-Token\"        # Optional: custom header name\n      validation:\n        required_fields: [\"customer.id\", \"customer.email\"]  # Required payload fields\n        content_type: \"application/json\"     # Expected content type\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: customer.id           # Field from webhook payload\n        workflow_input: customer_id          # Map to workflow input\n      - webhook_field: customer.email\n        workflow_input: customer_email\n      - webhook_field: customer.updated_at\n        workflow_input: update_timestamp\n```\n\n### Scheduled Triggers\n\nSchedule workflows to run at specific times or intervals.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: daily_report\n    type: schedule\n    description: \"Generate daily customer report\"\n    config:\n      cron: \"0 9 * * *\"                     # Daily at 9 AM (cron format)\n      timezone: \"UTC\"                       # Optional: timezone\n      enabled: true                         # Optional: enable/disable\n      max_instances: 1                      # Optional: max concurrent instances\n    input_mapping:\n      - workflow_input: report_date\n        default_value: \"${current_date}\"    # Use built-in variable\n      - workflow_input: report_type\n        default_value: \"daily\"\n\n  - name: weekly_cleanup\n    type: schedule\n    description: \"Weekly database cleanup\"\n    config:\n      cron: \"0 2 * * 0\"                     # Weekly on Sunday at 2 AM\n      timezone: \"America/New_York\"\n    input_mapping:\n      - workflow_input: cleanup_before_date\n        default_value: \"${date_minus_7_days}\"\n```\n\n### Event Triggers\n\nEvent triggers respond to system events from various sources.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: file_uploaded\n    type: event\n    description: \"Process uploaded files\"\n    config:\n      event_type: \"file.uploaded\"          # Event type to listen for\n      source: \"storage_service\"            # Event source system\n      filter:                              # Optional: event filtering\n        file_type: [\"csv\", \"json\", \"xlsx\"]\n        file_size_max: \"100MB\"\n        path_pattern: \"/uploads/customers/*\"\n      retry:                               # Optional: retry configuration\n        max_attempts: 3\n        initial_delay: \"5s\"\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: file.path\n        workflow_input: file_path\n      - webhook_field: file.size\n        workflow_input: file_size\n      - webhook_field: file.type\n        workflow_input: file_type\n\n  - name: order_status_changed\n    type: event\n    description: \"Handle order status changes\"\n    config:\n      event_type: \"order.status_changed\"\n      source: \"order_management\"\n      filter:\n        status: [\"completed\", \"cancelled\", \"refunded\"]\n        priority: [\"high\", \"urgent\"]\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: order.id\n        workflow_input: order_id\n      - webhook_field: order.status\n        workflow_input: new_status\n      - webhook_field: order.customer_id\n        workflow_input: customer_id\n```\n\n### Dependency Triggers\n\nDependency triggers start workflows when other workflows complete.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: post_processing\n    type: dependency\n    description: \"Run after main processing completes\"\n    config:\n      depends_on_workflow: \"main_data_processing\"  # Workflow to depend on\n      depends_on_status: \"SUCCESS\"                 # SUCCESS|FAILED|COMPLETED\n      namespace: \"production\"                      # Optional: workflow namespace\n      timeout_minutes: 60                         # Optional: wait timeout\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: execution_id               # From completed workflow\n        workflow_input: source_execution_id\n      - webhook_field: workflow_outputs.processed_count\n        workflow_input: items_processed\n```\n\n## Model Client Configuration\n\nBefore defining AI-related tasks (ai_agent, chatbot, continuous_conversation), you must configure model clients. Model clients define which AI models to use and how to authenticate with them.\n\n### Basic Structure\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: unique_identifier              # Used to reference this model in tasks\n    provider: provider_name            # AI provider (openai, anthropic, etc.)\n    config:\n      model: model_name                # Specific model to use\n      api_key: your_api_key           # Authentication key\n      # Additional provider-specific options...\n```\n\n### Supported Providers\n\n#### OpenAI Provider\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: gpt4_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview       # Available: gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo\n      api_key: \"sk-your-openai-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-2.0\n      max_tokens: 2000                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\n```\n\n#### Anthropic Provider\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: claude_model\n    provider: anthropic\n    config:\n      model: claude-3-sonnet-20240229  # Available: claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku\n      api_key: \"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-1.0\n      max_tokens: 1500                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\n```\n\n#### OpenRouter Provider\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: openrouter_model\n    provider: openrouter\n    config:\n      model: anthropic/claude-3-sonnet # Available: Various models via OpenRouter\n      api_key: \"sk-or-your-openrouter-api-key\"\n      base_url: \"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1\"  # Optional: Custom endpoint\n      temperature: 0.7\n      max_tokens: 2000\n```\n\n#### Multiple Model Clients\n\nYou can define multiple model clients and reference them by their `id` in tasks:\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: fast_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-3.5-turbo\n      api_key: \"sk-your-openai-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.3\n      \n  - id: smart_model\n    provider: anthropic\n    config:\n      model: claude-3-opus-20240229\n      api_key: \"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.7\n      \n  - id: creative_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\n      api_key: \"sk-your-openai-api-key\"\n      temperature: 1.2\n```\n\n### Using Model Clients in Tasks\n\nReference model clients in AI tasks using the `model_client_id` field:\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  - id: analysis_task\n    type: ai_agent\n    config:\n      model_client_id: smart_model     # References the claude model above\n      system_message: \"You are a data analyst...\"\n      user_message: \"Analyze this data: ${input_data}\"\n      \n  - id: creative_task\n    type: ai_agent\n    config:\n      model_client_id: creative_model  # References the creative GPT-4 model\n      system_message: \"You are a creative writer...\"\n      user_message: \"Write a story about ${topic}\"\n```\n\n### Environment Variables for API Keys\n\nFor security, use environment variables instead of hardcoding API keys:\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: secure_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\n      api_key: \"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\"     # References environment variable\n      temperature: 0.7\n```\n\n### Common Configuration Options\n\n| Field | Description | Required | Default |\n|-------|-------------|----------|---------|\n| `id` | Unique identifier for referencing in tasks | Yes | - |\n| `provider` | AI provider name | Yes | - |\n| `config.model` | Specific model name | Yes | - |\n| `config.api_key` | Authentication API key | Yes | - |\n| `config.temperature` | Response randomness (0.0-2.0) | No | 0.7 |\n| `config.max_tokens` | Maximum response tokens | No | Provider default |\n| `config.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds | No | 30 |\n| `config.base_url` | Custom API endpoint | No | Provider default |\n\n## Secrets Management and Environment Variables\n\nProper secrets management is crucial for security. Never hardcode sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens directly in workflow YAML files.\n\n### Using Environment Variables\n\nThe recommended approach is to use environment variables for all sensitive data:\n\n```yaml\n# \u2705 RECOMMENDED: Use environment variables\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: secure_openai\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\n      api_key: \"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\"          # References environment variable\n\n# HTTP tasks with environment variables\ntasks:\n  - id: secure_api_call\n    type: http\n    url: \"${API_BASE_URL}/customers\"       # Environment variable for URL\n    headers:\n      Authorization: \"Bearer ${API_TOKEN}\" # Environment variable for token\n      X-API-Key: \"${EXTERNAL_API_KEY}\"     # Environment variable for API key\n```\n\n### Environment Variable Patterns\n\n```yaml\n# Database connections\n- id: database_task\n  type: storage\n  config:\n    storage_type: database\n    connection_string: \"${DATABASE_URL}\"   # Full connection string\n    # or individual components:\n    host: \"${DB_HOST}\"\n    port: \"${DB_PORT}\"\n    database: \"${DB_NAME}\"\n    username: \"${DB_USER}\"\n    password: \"${DB_PASSWORD}\"\n\n# Third-party service credentials\n- id: external_service\n  type: http\n  url: \"${SERVICE_BASE_URL}/api/v1/data\"\n  headers:\n    Authorization: \"Bearer ${SERVICE_TOKEN}\"\n    X-Client-ID: \"${SERVICE_CLIENT_ID}\"\n    X-Client-Secret: \"${SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET}\"\n\n# MCP server credentials\n- id: mcp_task\n  type: mcp\n  mcp_server: \"@agentic/mcp-notion-server\"\n  environment_vars:\n    NOTION_TOKEN: \"${NOTION_API_TOKEN}\"\n    WORKSPACE_ID: \"${NOTION_WORKSPACE_ID}\"\n```\n\n### Security Best Practices\n\n#### \u274c What NOT to Do\n\n```yaml\n# DON\u0027T: Hardcode secrets\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: insecure_example\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      api_key: \"sk-actual-api-key-here\"    # SECURITY RISK!\n\n# DON\u0027T: Put secrets in comments\ntasks:\n  - id: bad_example\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com\"\n    # API key is: sk-12345...

id: fetch_customer        # Runs immediately\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com/customers/${customer_id}\"\n    \n  - id: fetch_products        # Runs in parallel with fetch_customer\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com/products\"\n    \n  # Stage 2: Dependent tasks (wait for Stage 1)\n  - id: validate_customer     # Waits for fetch_customer\n    type: script\n    depends_on: [fetch_customer]\n    previous_node: fetch_customer\n    script: # validation logic...\n    \n  - id: filter_products       # Waits for fetch_products\n    type: script\n    depends_on: [fetch_products]\n    previous_node: fetch_products\n    script: # filtering logic...\n    \n  # Stage 3: Final processing (waits for Stage 2)\n  - id: generate_recommendations  # Waits for both validation and filtering\n    type: ai_agent\n    depends_on: [validate_customer, filter_products]\n    previous_node: validate_customer  # UI hierarchy under customer validation\n    config:\n      model_client_id: gpt4_model\n      system_message: \"Generate product recommendations for customer.\"\n      user_message: |\n        Customer: ${validate_customer}\n        Available products: ${filter_products}\n```\n\n### Task States and Lifecycle\n\nEach task goes through these states during execution:\n\n| State | Description | Next States |\n|-------|-------------|-------------|\n| `PENDING` | Task created, waiting for dependencies | `RUNNING`, `SKIPPED` |\n| `RUNNING` | Task is actively executing | `COMPLETED`, `FAILED` |\n| `COMPLETED` | Task finished successfully | - |\n| `FAILED` | Task encountered an error | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\n| `SKIPPED` | Task skipped due to conditions | - |\n| `TIMEOUT` | Task exceeded timeout limit | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\n\n### Conditional Execution\n\nTasks can be executed conditionally based on routes or conditions:\n\n```yaml\n# Router-based conditional execution\n- id: data_router\n  type: conditional_router\n  depends_on: [fetch_data]\n  previous_node: fetch_data\n  conditions:\n    -

Missing Required `id` Field\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\nname: \"My Workflow\"\ndescription: \"A workflow without id\"\ntasks:\n  - name: \"Task 1\"\n    type: script\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\nid: \"my_workflow\"  # REQUIRED: Unique workflow identifier\nname: \"My Workflow\"\ndescription: \"A workflow with proper id\"\ntasks:\n  - id: task_1     # REQUIRED: Unique task identifier\n    name: \"Task 1\"\n    type: script\n```\n\n### 2. Incorrect Task Structure (Object vs Array)\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  task_1:          # Wrong: tasks as object mapping\n    type: script\n    script: \"print(\u0027hello\u0027)\"\n  task_2:\n    type: ai_agent\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  - id: task_1     # Correct: tasks as array with id field\n    type: script\n    script: \"print(\u0027hello\u0027)\"\n  - id: task_2\n    type: ai_agent\n```\n\n### 3. Incorrect Inputs Format (Object vs Array)\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\ninputs:\n  user_name:       # Wrong: inputs as object mapping\n    type: string\n    required: true\n  age:\n    type: integer\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\ninputs:\n  - name: user_name    # Correct: inputs as array with name field\n    type: string\n    required: true\n  - name: age\n    type: integer\n```\n\n### 4. Script Configuration Location Error\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\n- id: script_task\n  type: script\n  config:            # Wrong: script under config\n    script: |\n      print(\"Hello\")\n    requirements:\n      - requests\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\n- id: script_task\n  type: script\n  script: |          # Correct: script directly under task\n    print(\"Hello\")\n  # requirements can be at task level if needed\n```\n\n### 5. Individual Task Inputs (Not Supported)\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\n  script: \"print(\u0027hello\u0027)\"\n  inputs:            # Wrong: tasks don\u0027t have individual inputs\n    search_query: ${search_query}\n    prev_result: ${previous_task}\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [previous_task]  # Use depends_on for data access\n  script: |\n    # Access workflow inputs directly\n    search_query = \"${search_query}\"\n    # Access previous task outputs via template resolution\n    prev_result = ${previous_task}\n```\n\n### 6. Incorrect Script Output Handling\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  result = process_data()\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result  # Wrong: missing __OUTPUTS__ pattern\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  result = process_data()\n  \n  # Required: Use outputs dict and __OUTPUTS__ marker\n  outputs = {}\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result\n  outputs[\u0027status\u0027] = \u0027success\u0027\n  \n  import json\n  print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(outputs)}\")\n```\n\n### 7. AI Agent Configuration Errors\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\n- id: ai_task\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: my_model\n    prompt: \"Process this data: ${data}\"  # Wrong: use user_message\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\n- id: ai_task\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: my_model\n    system_message: \"You are a helpful assistant.\"\n    user_message: \"Process this data: ${data}\"  # Correct field name\n```\n\n### 8. Missing Dependencies for Template Resolution\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_2\n  type: script\n  # Missing depends_on\n  script: |\n    data = ${task_1}  # Will become UNRESOLVED_task_1\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_2\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [task_1]  # Required for template access\n  script: |\n    data = ${task_1}    # Now resolves correctly\n```\n\n### 9. Incorrect Model Client Configuration\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  my_model:          # Wrong: object mapping format\n    type: openai\n    api_key: \"sk-...\"\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: my_model     # Correct: array format with id field\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: \"gpt-4\"\n      api_key: \"sk-...\"\n```\n\n### 10. Empty String Literals Causing Python Syntax Errors\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  def process_data(path=\"\"):  # Wrong: empty string can cause syntax issues\n    current_path = f\"{path}.{key}\" if path else key\n  \n  # This can lead to: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  def process_data(path=None):  # Correct: use None instead of empty string\n    current_path = f\"{path}.{key}\" if path else key\n    # Or use path = path or \"default_value\"\n```\n\n### 11. YAML Indentation and Structure Issues\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\ntasks:\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\nscript: |            # Wrong: inconsistent indentation\n  print(\"hello\")\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\ntasks:\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\n  script: |          # Correct: consistent indentation\n    print(\"hello\")\n```\n\n### Best Practices Summary\n\n1. **Always include required `id` fields** for workflows and tasks\n2. **Use array format** for `tasks`, `inputs`, and `model_clients`\n3. **Script field goes directly under task**, not under `config`\n4. **No individual task inputs** - use template resolution instead\n5. **Use `depends_on`** to access previous task outputs\n6. **Print `__OUTPUTS__`** in scripts for proper output parsing\n7. **Use `user_message`** (not `prompt`) for AI agent tasks\n8. **Avoid empty string literals** - use `None` or meaningful defaults\n9. **Follow consistent YAML indentation** throughout the file\n\n## MCP Tools and Function Calling\n\nAI agents and chatbots can use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for function calling, enabling them to execute external tools and services.\n\n### Tools Configuration\n\nBoth `ai_agent` and `chatbot` tasks support tools configuration:\n\n```yaml\n# AI Agent with MCP tools\n- id: ai_with_tools\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\n    system_message: |\n      You are a helpful assistant with access to various tools.\n      Use the available tools when needed to help users.\n    user_message: \"What time is it and what\u0027s the weather like?\"\n    \n    # Tools configuration\n    tools:                              # List of MCP tool names\n      - current_time                    # Time tools\n      - relative_time\n      - days_in_month\n      - weather_forecast                # Weather tools\n      - database_query                  # Database tools\n      - send_notification               # Communication tools\n    \n    tenant_id: \"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\"  # Required for tool resolution\n\n# Chatbot with MCP tools\n- id: chatbot_with_tools\n  type: chatbot\n  config:\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\n    system_message: |\n      You are a helpful chatbot with access to tools.\n      Use tools when users ask for specific information or actions.\n    \n    # Tools configuration (same format as AI agent)\n    tools:\n      - current_time\n      - weather_api\n      - user_preferences\n    \n    tenant_id: \"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\"  # Required for tool resolution\n```\n\n### How Tools Work\n\n1. **Tool Resolution**: The workflow engine resolves tool names to actual MCP server deployments using the `tenant_id`\n2. **Function Calling**: When the AI model decides to use a tool, it calls the `tool_executor` function\n3. **Tool Execution**: The engine executes the specified tool via the appropriate MCP server\n4. **Response Integration**: Tool results are fed back to the AI model for response generation\n\n### Tool Configuration Requirements\n\n| Field | Required | Description |\n|-------|----------|-------------|\n| `tools` | No | List of MCP tool names available to the AI |\n| `tenant_id` | **Yes** (when using tools) | Tenant UUID for tool resolution |\n\n### Example: Complete AI Agent with Tools\n\n```yaml\nid: intelligent_assistant\nname: \"Intelligent Assistant with Tools\"\n\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: gpt4_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4o-mini\n      api_key: \"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\"\n      temperature: 0.3\n\n# Tenant ID can be set at workflow level for all tasks\ntenant_id: \"0572fa8d-d7c3-47db-9219-ef40b80d42b7\"\n\ntasks:\n  -

Sending notifications\n        \n        Always explain what tool you\u0027re using and why.\n      \n      user_message: \"${user_query}\"\n      \n      # MCP tools configuration\n      tools:\n        - current_time\n        - relative_time\n        - days_in_month\n        - weather_forecast\n        - send_notification\n      \n      # Tool resolution requires tenant_id\n      tenant_id: \"0572fa8d-d7c3-47db-9219-ef40b80d42b7\"\n      \n      temperature: 0.7\n      max_tokens: 1000\n\ninputs:\n  - name: user_query\n    type: string\n    required: true\n    default: \"What time is it and can you send a notification to user123?\"\n\noutputs:\n  ai_response:\n    type: string\n    source: assistant_with_tools.ai_response\n    description: \"AI response using tools when needed\"\n```\n\n### Tool Execution Flow\n\n1. **User Input**: User provides a query that might require tool usage\n2. **AI Analysis**: AI model analyzes the query and decides if tools are needed\n3. **Tool Calling**: AI calls `tool_executor(deployment_id, tool_name, arguments)`\n4. **Tool Resolution**: Engine resolves tool name to MCP server using tenant_id\n5. **Tool Execution**: MCP server executes the requested tool\n6. **Result Processing**: Tool results are returned to the AI model\n7. **Response Generation**: AI generates final response incorporating tool results\n\n### Best Practices for Tools\n\n1. **Clear System Messages**: Explain available tools and when to use them\n2. **Tool Categories**: Group related tools (time, weather, database, etc.)\n3. **Error Handling**: AI models handle tool execution failures gracefully\n4. **Tool Documentation**: Include tool descriptions in system messages\n5. **Tenant Configuration**: Ensure tenant_id matches your MCP server setup\n\n---\n\n*This comprehensive reference covers all supported task types and their YAML configurations.

id: quick_task\\n    type: script\\n    # Uses workflow-level timeout (2h)\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Quick task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: custom_timeout_task\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: \\\"30m\\\"               # Override with 30 minute timeout\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Custom timeout task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: long_running_task\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # 10 minutes (integer format)\\n    script: |\\n      import time\\n      time.sleep(300)  # 5 minute processing\\n      print(\\\"Long task completed\\\")\\n```\\n\\n#### Timeout-Free Communication\\n\\nThe workflow engine automatically uses **timeout-free communication** for long-running tasks to prevent timeout-related failures:\\n\\n- **Loop tasks**: Always use timeout-free communication (event-driven execution)\\n- **Script tasks**: Use timeout-free communication when `timeout_seconds \u003e 180` (host timeout threshold)\\n- **Other task types**: Use standard timeout-based communication\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: short_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 60                  # Uses standard timeout-based communication\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Short script\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: long_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # Uses timeout-free communication (600 \u003e 180)\\n    script: |\\n      import time\\n      print(\\\"\\ud83d\\ude80 This uses timeout-free communication\\\")\\n      time.sleep(300)  # Won\u0027t cause timeout issues\\n      print(\\\"Long script completed\\\")\\n      \\n  -

id: process_batch\\n      type: script\\n      # Inherits 30-minute timeout from parent loop\\n      script: |\\n        print(\\\"Processing batch with inherited timeout\\\")\\n        # This script will use the 30-minute timeout from the loop\\n```\\n\\n#### Best Practices for Timeout Configuration\\n\\n1. **Use duration strings** for readability: `\\\"5m\\\"` vs `300`\\n2. **Set appropriate timeouts** based on expected execution time plus buffer\\n3. **Long-running tasks**: Set `timeout_seconds \u003e 180` to enable timeout-free communication\\n4. **Loop tasks**: Always get timeout-free communication automatically\\n5. **Critical tasks**: Use shorter timeouts for fail-fast behavior\\n6. **External API calls**: Use longer timeouts to account for network latency\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Example: Well-configured timeout workflow\\ntimeout_seconds: \\\"1h\\\"                    # Reasonable workflow timeout\\n\\ntasks:\\n  -

Execution Dependencies:**\\n- Controls actual task execution order\\n- Enables template resolution and data access\\n- Required for accessing outputs from other tasks\\n- Validates that referenced tasks exist\\n- Multiple tasks can be specified\\n\\n**`previous_node` - Task Connectivity and UI Hierarchy:**\\n- **REQUIRED for proper task connectivity in UI**\\n- Essential for workflow visualization and task linking\\n- Critical for execution flow representation\\n- Single task reference only\\n- **Without this field, tasks won\u0027t be properly connected in the UI**\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  -

This is essential for creating dynamic workflows where tasks pass data to each other.\\n\\n### Basic Template Syntax\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Access workflow inputs\\nscript: |\\n  customer_name = \\\"${customer_name}\\\"  # From workflow inputs\\n  \\n# Access previous task outputs\\nscript: |\\n  previous_result = ${data_fetch_task}  # Entire output from data_fetch_task\\n  specific_field = ${data_fetch_task.customer_id}  # Specific field\\n  \\n# Access built-in variables\\nscript: |\\n  workflow_id = \\\"${workflow_id}\\\"\\n  execution_id = \\\"${execution_id}\\\"\\n  timestamp = \\\"${current_timestamp}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Available Built-in Variables\\n\\n| Variable | Description | Example Value |\\n|----------|-------------|---------------|\\n| `${workflow_id}` | Current workflow identifier | `customer_processor` |\\n| `${execution_id}` | Unique execution identifier | `exec_12345_abcde` |\\n| `${namespace}` | Workflow namespace | `production` |\\n| `${current_timestamp}` | ISO timestamp | `2024-01-15T10:30:00Z` |\\n| `${started_at}` | Workflow start time | `2024-01-15T10:29:45Z` |\\n\\n### Task Output Resolution\\n\\nTasks can access outputs from other tasks they depend on:\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: fetch_customer\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"https://api.example.com/customers/${customer_id}\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: process_customer\\n    type: script\\n    depends_on: [fetch_customer]  # Required for template access\\n    previous_node: fetch_customer\\n    script: |\\n      # Access entire response\\n      customer_data = ${fetch_customer}\\n      \\n      # Access specific fields\\n      customer_name = \\\"${fetch_customer.name}\\\"\\n      customer_email = \\\"${fetch_customer.email}\\\"\\n      \\n      # Process the data\\n      result = {\\n          \\\"processed_name\\\": customer_name.upper(),\\n          \\\"domain\\\": customer_email.split(\\\"@\\\")[1]\\n      }\\n      print(f\\\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(result)}\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### AI Agent Output Resolution\\n\\nAI agent tasks return structured output that requires specific access patterns:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# AI Agent task\\n- id: ai_analysis_task\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: \\\"Analyze the customer data and provide insights.\\\"\\n    user_message: \\\"Customer data: ${customer_data}\\\"\\n\\n# Accessing AI agent output in subsequent tasks\\n- id: process_ai_response\\n  type: script\\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\\n  previous_node: ai_analysis_task\\n  script: |\\n    # CORRECT: AI agents return structured output\\n    agent_output = ${ai_analysis_task}\\n    ai_response = agent_output[\u0027ai_response\u0027].strip()\\n    \\n    # Additional metadata available\\n    token_usage = agent_output.get(\u0027token_usage\u0027, {})\\n    model_used = agent_output.get(\u0027model\u0027, \u0027unknown\u0027)\\n    \\n    # Process the AI response\\n    processed_analysis = {\\n        \\\"analysis\\\": ai_response,\\n        \\\"tokens_used\\\": token_usage.get(\u0027total_tokens\u0027, 0),\\n        \\\"model\\\": model_used,\\n        \\\"processed_at\\\": \\\"${current_timestamp}\\\"\\n    }\\n    \\n    print(f\\\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(processed_analysis)}\\\")\\n\\n# INCORRECT: Direct access won\u0027t work\\n- id: incorrect_ai_access\\n  type: script\\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\\n  script: |\\n    # \\u274c This will not work correctly\\n    ai_response = ${ai_analysis_task}  # Returns full agent object\\n    # ai_response is now a dict, not the actual response text\\n```\\n\\n### AI Agent Response Structure\\n\\nAI agent tasks return a structured object with the following format:\\n\\n```json\\n{\\n  \\\"ai_response\\\": \\\"The actual AI-generated text response\\\",\\n  \\\"model\\\": \\\"gpt-4-turbo-preview\\\",\\n  \\\"token_usage\\\": {\\n    \\\"prompt_tokens\\\": 150,\\n    \\\"completion_tokens\\\": 75,\\n    \\\"total_tokens\\\": 225\\n  },\\n  \\\"estimated_cost\\\": {\\n    \\\"amount\\\": 0.00337,\\n    \\\"currency\\\": \\\"USD\\\"\\n  },\\n  \\\"provider\\\": \\\"openai\\\",\\n  \\\"timestamp\\\": \\\"2024-01-15T10:30:00Z\\\"\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Loop Task Data Access and Dependencies\\n\\nLoop tasks have a special execution context that differs from regular workflow tasks.

Model clients define which AI models to use and how to authenticate with them.\\n\\n### Basic Structure\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: unique_identifier              # Used to reference this model in tasks\\n    provider: provider_name            # AI provider (openai, anthropic, etc.)\\n    config:\\n      model: model_name                # Specific model to use\\n      api_key: your_api_key           # Authentication key\\n      # Additional provider-specific options...\\n```\\n\\n### Supported Providers\\n\\n#### OpenAI Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: gpt4_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview       # Available: gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-2.0\\n      max_tokens: 2000                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### Anthropic Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: claude_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-sonnet-20240229  # Available: claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-1.0\\n      max_tokens: 1500                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### OpenRouter Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: openrouter_model\\n    provider: openrouter\\n    config:\\n      model: anthropic/claude-3-sonnet # Available: Various models via OpenRouter\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-or-your-openrouter-api-key\\\"\\n      base_url: \\\"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1\\\"  # Optional: Custom endpoint\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      max_tokens: 2000\\n```\\n\\n#### Multiple Model Clients\\n\\nYou can define multiple model clients and reference them by their `id` in tasks:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: fast_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.3\\n      \\n  - id: smart_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-opus-20240229\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      \\n  - id: creative_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 1.2\\n```\\n\\n### Using Model Clients in Tasks\\n\\nReference model clients in AI tasks using the `model_client_id` field:\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: analysis_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: smart_model     # References the claude model above\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a data analyst...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Analyze this data: ${input_data}\\\"\\n      \\n  - id: creative_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: creative_model  # References the creative GPT-4 model\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a creative writer...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Write a story about ${topic}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variables for API Keys\\n\\nFor security, use environment variables instead of hardcoding API keys:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"     # References environment variable\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n```\\n\\n### Common Configuration Options\\n\\n| Field | Description | Required | Default |\\n|-------|-------------|----------|---------|\\n| `id` | Unique identifier for referencing in tasks | Yes | - |\\n| `provider` | AI provider name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.model` | Specific model name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.api_key` | Authentication API key | Yes | - |\\n| `config.temperature` | Response randomness (0.0-2.0) | No | 0.7 |\\n| `config.max_tokens` | Maximum response tokens | No | Provider default |\\n| `config.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds | No | 30 |\\n| `config.base_url` | Custom API endpoint | No | Provider default |\\n\\n## Secrets Management and Environment Variables\\n\\nProper secrets management is crucial for security. Never hardcode sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens directly in workflow YAML files.\\n\\n### Using Environment Variables\\n\\nThe recommended approach is to use environment variables for all sensitive data:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# \\u2705 RECOMMENDED: Use environment variables\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_openai\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"          # References environment variable\\n\\n# HTTP tasks with environment variables\\ntasks:\\n  - id: secure_api_call\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"${API_BASE_URL}/customers\\\"       # Environment variable for URL\\n    headers:\\n      Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${API_TOKEN}\\\" # Environment variable for token\\n      X-API-Key: \\\"${EXTERNAL_API_KEY}\\\"     # Environment variable for API key\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variable Patterns\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Database connections\\n- id: database_task\\n  type: storage\\n  config:\\n    storage_type: database\\n    connection_string: \\\"${DATABASE_URL}\\\"   # Full connection string\\n    # or individual components:\\n    host: \\\"${DB_HOST}\\\"\\n    port: \\\"${DB_PORT}\\\"\\n    database: \\\"${DB_NAME}\\\"\\n    username: \\\"${DB_USER}\\\"\\n    password: \\\"${DB_PASSWORD}\\\"\\n\\n# Third-party service credentials\\n- id: external_service\\n  type: http\\n  url: \\\"${SERVICE_BASE_URL}/api/v1/data\\\"\\n  headers:\\n    Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${SERVICE_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    X-Client-ID: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_ID}\\\"\\n    X-Client-Secret: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET}\\\"\\n\\n# MCP server credentials\\n- id: mcp_task\\n  type: mcp\\n  mcp_server: \\\"@agentic/mcp-notion-server\\\"\\n  environment_vars:\\n    NOTION_TOKEN: \\\"${NOTION_API_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    WORKSPACE_ID: \\\"${NOTION_WORKSPACE_ID}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Security Best Practices\\n\\n#### \\u274c What NOT to Do\\n\\n```yaml\\n# DON\u0027T: Hardcode secrets\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: insecure_example\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-actual-api-key-here\\\"    # SECURITY RISK!\\n\\n# DON\u0027T: Put secrets in comments\\ntasks:\\n  - id: bad_example\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"https://api.example.com\\\"\\n    # API key is: sk-12345...

YAML Indentation and Structure Issues\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\nscript: |            # Wrong: inconsistent indentation\\n  print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\n  script: |          # Correct: consistent indentation\\n    print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### Best Practices Summary\\n\\n1. **Always include required `id` fields** for workflows and tasks\\n2. **Use array format** for `tasks`, `inputs`, and `model_clients`\\n3. **Script field goes directly under task**, not under `config`\\n4. **No individual task inputs** - use template resolution instead\\n5. **Use `depends_on`** to access previous task outputs\\n6. **Print `__OUTPUTS__`** in scripts for proper output parsing\\n7. **Use `user_message`** (not `prompt`) for AI agent tasks\\n8. **Avoid empty string literals** - use `None` or meaningful defaults\\n9. **Follow consistent YAML indentation** throughout the file\\n\\n## MCP Tools and Function Calling\\n\\nAI agents and chatbots can use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for function calling, enabling them to execute external tools and services.\\n\\n### Tools Configuration\\n\\nBoth `ai_agent` and `chatbot` tasks support tools configuration:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# AI Agent with MCP tools\\n- id: ai_with_tools\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: |\\n      You are a helpful assistant with access to various tools.\\n      Use the available tools when needed to help users.\\n    user_message: \\\"What time is it and what\u0027s the weather like?\\\"\\n    \\n    # Tools configuration\\n    tools:                              # List of MCP tool names\\n      - current_time                    # Time tools\\n      - relative_time\\n      - days_in_month\\n      - weather_forecast                # Weather tools\\n      - database_query                  # Database tools\\n      - send_notification               # Communication tools\\n    \\n    tenant_id: \\\"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\\\"  # Required for tool resolution\\n\\n# Chatbot with MCP tools\\n- id: chatbot_with_tools\\n  type: chatbot\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: |\\n      You are a helpful chatbot with access to tools.\\n      Use tools when users ask for specific information or actions.\\n    \\n    # Tools configuration (same format as AI agent)\\n    tools:\\n      - current_time\\n      - weather_api\\n      - user_preferences\\n    \\n    tenant_id: \\\"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\\\"  # Required for tool resolution\\n```\\n\\n### How Tools Work\\n\\n1. **Tool Resolution**: The workflow engine resolves tool names to actual MCP server deployments using the `tenant_id`\\n2. **Function Calling**: When the AI model decides to use a tool, it calls the `tool_executor` function\\n3. **Tool Execution**: The engine executes the specified tool via the appropriate MCP server\\n4. **Response Integration**: Tool results are fed back to the AI model for response generation\\n\\n### Tool Configuration Requirements\\n\\n| Field | Required | Description |\\n|-------|----------|-------------|\\n| `tools` | No | List of MCP tool names available to the AI |\\n| `tenant_id` | **Yes** (when using tools) | Tenant UUID for tool resolution |\\n\\n### Example: Complete AI Agent with Tools\\n\\n```yaml\\nid: intelligent_assistant\\nname: \\\"Intelligent Assistant with Tools\\\"\\n\\nmodel_clients:\\n  -

id: quick_task\\n    type: script\\n    # Uses workflow-level timeout (2h)\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Quick task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: custom_timeout_task\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: \\\"30m\\\"               # Override with 30 minute timeout\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Custom timeout task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  -

id: short_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 60                  # Uses standard timeout-based communication\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Short script\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: long_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # Uses timeout-free communication (600 \u003e 180)\\n    script: |\\n      import time\\n      print(\\\"\\ud83d\\ude80 This uses timeout-free communication\\\")\\n      time.sleep(300)  # Won\u0027t cause timeout issues\\n      print(\\\"Long script completed\\\")\\n      \\n  -

Execution Dependencies:**\\n- Controls actual task execution order\\n- Enables template resolution and data access\\n- Required for accessing outputs from other tasks\\n- Validates that referenced tasks exist\\n- Multiple tasks can be specified\\n\\n**`previous_node` - Task Connectivity and UI Hierarchy:**\\n- **REQUIRED for proper task connectivity in UI**\\n- Essential for workflow visualization and task linking\\n- Critical for execution flow representation\\n- Single task reference only\\n- **Without this field, tasks won\u0027t be properly connected in the UI**\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  -

Model clients define which AI models to use and how to authenticate with them.\\n\\n### Basic Structure\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: unique_identifier              # Used to reference this model in tasks\\n    provider: provider_name            # AI provider (openai, anthropic, etc.)\\n    config:\\n      model: model_name                # Specific model to use\\n      api_key: your_api_key           # Authentication key\\n      # Additional provider-specific options...\\n```\\n\\n### Supported Providers\\n\\n#### OpenAI Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: gpt4_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview       # Available: gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-2.0\\n      max_tokens: 2000                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### Anthropic Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: claude_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-sonnet-20240229  # Available: claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-1.0\\n      max_tokens: 1500                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### OpenRouter Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: openrouter_model\\n    provider: openrouter\\n    config:\\n      model: anthropic/claude-3-sonnet # Available: Various models via OpenRouter\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-or-your-openrouter-api-key\\\"\\n      base_url: \\\"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1\\\"  # Optional: Custom endpoint\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      max_tokens: 2000\\n```\\n\\n#### Multiple Model Clients\\n\\nYou can define multiple model clients and reference them by their `id` in tasks:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: fast_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.3\\n      \\n  - id: smart_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-opus-20240229\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      \\n  - id: creative_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 1.2\\n```\\n\\n### Using Model Clients in Tasks\\n\\nReference model clients in AI tasks using the `model_client_id` field:\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: analysis_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: smart_model     # References the claude model above\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a data analyst...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Analyze this data: ${input_data}\\\"\\n      \\n  - id: creative_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: creative_model  # References the creative GPT-4 model\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a creative writer...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Write a story about ${topic}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variables for API Keys\\n\\nFor security, use environment variables instead of hardcoding API keys:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"     # References environment variable\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n```\\n\\n### Common Configuration Options\\n\\n| Field | Description | Required | Default |\\n|-------|-------------|----------|---------|\\n| `id` | Unique identifier for referencing in tasks | Yes | - |\\n| `provider` | AI provider name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.model` | Specific model name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.api_key` | Authentication API key | Yes | - |\\n| `config.temperature` | Response randomness (0.0-2.0) | No | 0.7 |\\n| `config.max_tokens` | Maximum response tokens | No | Provider default |\\n| `config.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds | No | 30 |\\n| `config.base_url` | Custom API endpoint | No | Provider default |\\n\\n## Secrets Management and Environment Variables\\n\\nProper secrets management is crucial for security. Never hardcode sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens directly in workflow YAML files.\\n\\n### Using Environment Variables\\n\\nThe recommended approach is to use environment variables for all sensitive data:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# \\u2705 RECOMMENDED: Use environment variables\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_openai\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"          # References environment variable\\n\\n# HTTP tasks with environment variables\\ntasks:\\n  - id: secure_api_call\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"${API_BASE_URL}/customers\\\"       # Environment variable for URL\\n    headers:\\n      Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${API_TOKEN}\\\" # Environment variable for token\\n      X-API-Key: \\\"${EXTERNAL_API_KEY}\\\"     # Environment variable for API key\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variable Patterns\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Database connections\\n- id: database_task\\n  type: storage\\n  config:\\n    storage_type: database\\n    connection_string: \\\"${DATABASE_URL}\\\"   # Full connection string\\n    # or individual components:\\n    host: \\\"${DB_HOST}\\\"\\n    port: \\\"${DB_PORT}\\\"\\n    database: \\\"${DB_NAME}\\\"\\n    username: \\\"${DB_USER}\\\"\\n    password: \\\"${DB_PASSWORD}\\\"\\n\\n# Third-party service credentials\\n- id: external_service\\n  type: http\\n  url: \\\"${SERVICE_BASE_URL}/api/v1/data\\\"\\n  headers:\\n    Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${SERVICE_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    X-Client-ID: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_ID}\\\"\\n    X-Client-Secret: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET}\\\"\\n\\n# MCP server credentials\\n- id: mcp_task\\n  type: mcp\\n  mcp_server: \\\"@agentic/mcp-notion-server\\\"\\n  environment_vars:\\n    NOTION_TOKEN: \\\"${NOTION_API_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    WORKSPACE_ID: \\\"${NOTION_WORKSPACE_ID}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Security Best Practices\\n\\n#### \\u274c What NOT to Do\\n\\n```yaml\\n# DON\u0027T: Hardcode secrets\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: insecure_example\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-actual-api-key-here\\\"    # SECURITY RISK!\\n\\n# DON\u0027T: Put secrets in comments\\ntasks:\\n  - id: bad_example\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"https://api.example.com\\\"\\n    # API key is: sk-12345...

|\\n| `FAILED` | Task encountered an error | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\\n| `SKIPPED` | Task skipped due to conditions | - |\\n| `TIMEOUT` | Task exceeded timeout limit | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\\n\\n### Conditional Execution\\n\\nTasks can be executed conditionally based on routes or conditions:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Router-based conditional execution\\n- id: data_router\\n  type: conditional_router\\n  depends_on: [fetch_data]\\n  previous_node: fetch_data\\n  conditions:\\n    -

Incorrect Script Output Handling\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  result = process_data()\\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result  # Wrong: missing __OUTPUTS__ pattern\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  result = process_data()\\n  \\n  # Required: Use outputs dict and __OUTPUTS__ marker\\n  outputs = {}\\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result\\n  outputs[\u0027status\u0027] = \u0027success\u0027\\n  \\n  import json\\n  print(f\\\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(outputs)}\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### 7. AI Agent Configuration Errors\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: ai_task\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: my_model\\n    prompt: \\\"Process this data: ${data}\\\"  # Wrong: use user_message\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: ai_task\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: my_model\\n    system_message: \\\"You are a helpful assistant.\\\"\\n    user_message: \\\"Process this data: ${data}\\\"  # Correct field name\\n```\\n\\n### 8. Missing Dependencies for Template Resolution\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: task_2\\n  type: script\\n  # Missing depends_on\\n  script: |\\n    data = ${task_1}  # Will become UNRESOLVED_task_1\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: task_2\\n  type: script\\n  depends_on: [task_1]  # Required for template access\\n  script: |\\n    data = ${task_1}    # Now resolves correctly\\n```\\n\\n### 9. Incorrect Model Client Configuration\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  my_model:          # Wrong: object mapping format\\n    type: openai\\n    api_key: \\\"sk-...\\\"\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: my_model     # Correct: array format with id field\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: \\\"gpt-4\\\"\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-...\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### 10. Empty String Literals Causing Python Syntax Errors\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  def process_data(path=\\\"\\\"):  # Wrong: empty string can cause syntax issues\\n    current_path = f\\\"{path}.{key}\\\" if path else key\\n  \\n  # This can lead to: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  def process_data(path=None):  # Correct: use None instead of empty string\\n    current_path = f\\\"{path}.{key}\\\" if path else key\\n    # Or use path = path or \\\"default_value\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### 11. YAML Indentation and Structure Issues\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\nscript: |            # Wrong: inconsistent indentation\\n  print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\n  script: |          # Correct: consistent indentation\\n    print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### Best Practices Summary\\n\\n1. **Always include required `id` fields** for workflows and tasks\\n2. **Use array format** for `tasks`, `inputs`, and `model_clients`\\n3. **Script field goes directly under task**, not under `config`\\n4. **No individual task inputs** - use template resolution instead\\n5. **Use `depends_on`** to access previous task outputs\\n6. **Print `__OUTPUTS__`** in scripts for proper output parsing\\n7. **Use `user_message`** (not `prompt`) for AI agent tasks\\n8. **Avoid empty string literals** - use `None` or meaningful defaults\\n9. **Follow consistent YAML indentation** throughout the file\\n\\n## MCP Tools and Function Calling\\n\\nAI agents and chatbots can use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for function calling, enabling them to execute external tools and services.\\n\\n### Tools Configuration\\n\\nBoth `ai_agent` and `chatbot` tasks support tools configuration:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# AI Agent with MCP tools\\n- id: ai_with_tools\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: |\\n      You are a helpful assistant with access to various tools.\\n      Use the available tools when needed to help users.\\n    user_message: \\\"What time is it and what\u0027s the weather like?\\\"\\n    \\n    # Tools configuration\\n    tools:                              # List of MCP tool names\\n      -

id: short_script\n    type: script\n    timeout_seconds: 60                  # Uses standard timeout-based communication\n    script: \"print(\u0027Short script\u0027)\"\n    \n  - id: long_script\n    type: script\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # Uses timeout-free communication (600 \u003e 180)\n    script: |\n      import time\n      print(\"\ud83d\ude80 This uses timeout-free communication\")\n      time.sleep(300)  # Won\u0027t cause timeout issues\n      print(\"Long script completed\")\n      \n  -

id: process_batch\n      type: script\n      # Inherits 30-minute timeout from parent loop\n      script: |\n        print(\"Processing batch with inherited timeout\")\n        # This script will use the 30-minute timeout from the loop\n```\n\n#### Best Practices for Timeout Configuration\n\n1. **Use duration strings** for readability: `\"5m\"` vs `300`\n2. **Set appropriate timeouts** based on expected execution time plus buffer\n3. **Long-running tasks**: Set `timeout_seconds \u003e 180` to enable timeout-free communication\n4. **Loop tasks**: Always get timeout-free communication automatically\n5. **Critical tasks**: Use shorter timeouts for fail-fast behavior\n6. **External API calls**: Use longer timeouts to account for network latency\n\n```yaml\n# Example: Well-configured timeout workflow\ntimeout_seconds: \"1h\"                    # Reasonable workflow timeout\n\ntasks:\n  -

Execution Dependencies:**\n- Controls actual task execution order\n- Enables template resolution and data access\n- Required for accessing outputs from other tasks\n- Validates that referenced tasks exist\n- Multiple tasks can be specified\n\n**`previous_node` - Task Connectivity and UI Hierarchy:**\n- **REQUIRED for proper task connectivity in UI**\n- Essential for workflow visualization and task linking\n- Critical for execution flow representation\n- Single task reference only\n- **Without this field, tasks won\u0027t be properly connected in the UI**\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  -

This is essential for creating dynamic workflows where tasks pass data to each other.\n\n### Basic Template Syntax\n\n```yaml\n# Access workflow inputs\nscript: |\n  customer_name = \"${customer_name}\"  # From workflow inputs\n  \n# Access previous task outputs\nscript: |\n  previous_result = ${data_fetch_task}  # Entire output from data_fetch_task\n  specific_field = ${data_fetch_task.customer_id}  # Specific field\n  \n# Access built-in variables\nscript: |\n  workflow_id = \"${workflow_id}\"\n  execution_id = \"${execution_id}\"\n  timestamp = \"${current_timestamp}\"\n```\n\n### Available Built-in Variables\n\n| Variable | Description | Example Value |\n|----------|-------------|---------------|\n| `${workflow_id}` | Current workflow identifier | `customer_processor` |\n| `${execution_id}` | Unique execution identifier | `exec_12345_abcde` |\n| `${namespace}` | Workflow namespace | `production` |\n| `${current_timestamp}` | ISO timestamp | `2024-01-15T10:30:00Z` |\n| `${started_at}` | Workflow start time | `2024-01-15T10:29:45Z` |\n\n### Task Output Resolution\n\nTasks can access outputs from other tasks they depend on:\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  - id: fetch_customer\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com/customers/${customer_id}\"\n    \n  - id: process_customer\n    type: script\n    depends_on: [fetch_customer]  # Required for template access\n    previous_node: fetch_customer\n    script: |\n      # Access entire response\n      customer_data = ${fetch_customer}\n      \n      # Access specific fields\n      customer_name = \"${fetch_customer.name}\"\n      customer_email = \"${fetch_customer.email}\"\n      \n      # Process the data\n      result = {\n          \"processed_name\": customer_name.upper(),\n          \"domain\": customer_email.split(\"@\")[1]\n      }\n      print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(result)}\")\n```\n\n### AI Agent Output Resolution\n\nAI agent tasks return structured output that requires specific access patterns:\n\n```yaml\n# AI Agent task\n- id: ai_analysis_task\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\n    system_message: \"Analyze the customer data and provide insights.\"\n    user_message: \"Customer data: ${customer_data}\"\n\n# Accessing AI agent output in subsequent tasks\n- id: process_ai_response\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\n  previous_node: ai_analysis_task\n  script: |\n    # CORRECT: AI agents return structured output\n    agent_output = ${ai_analysis_task}\n    ai_response = agent_output[\u0027ai_response\u0027].strip()\n    \n    # Additional metadata available\n    token_usage = agent_output.get(\u0027token_usage\u0027, {})\n    model_used = agent_output.get(\u0027model\u0027, \u0027unknown\u0027)\n    \n    # Process the AI response\n    processed_analysis = {\n        \"analysis\": ai_response,\n        \"tokens_used\": token_usage.get(\u0027total_tokens\u0027, 0),\n        \"model\": model_used,\n        \"processed_at\": \"${current_timestamp}\"\n    }\n    \n    print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(processed_analysis)}\")\n\n# INCORRECT: Direct access won\u0027t work\n- id: incorrect_ai_access\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\n  script: |\n    # \u274c This will not work correctly\n    ai_response = ${ai_analysis_task}  # Returns full agent object\n    # ai_response is now a dict, not the actual response text\n```\n\n### AI Agent Response Structure\n\nAI agent tasks return a structured object with the following format:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"ai_response\": \"The actual AI-generated text response\",\n  \"model\": \"gpt-4-turbo-preview\",\n  \"token_usage\": {\n    \"prompt_tokens\": 150,\n    \"completion_tokens\": 75,\n    \"total_tokens\": 225\n  },\n  \"estimated_cost\": {\n    \"amount\": 0.00337,\n    \"currency\": \"USD\"\n  },\n  \"provider\": \"openai\",\n  \"timestamp\": \"2024-01-15T10:30:00Z\"\n}\n```\n\n### Loop Task Data Access and Dependencies\n\nLoop tasks have a special execution context that differs from regular workflow tasks. Understanding how to access data within loops is crucial for building functional workflows.\n\n#### Loop Task Internal Data Access\n\nWithin loop tasks, data access works through injected context files rather than template resolution:\n\n```yaml\n# Loop task with state variables and internal task dependencies\n- id: data_processing_loop\n  type: loop\n  loop_type: for\n  max_iterations: 3\n  state_variables:\n    processed_items: []\n    total_processed: 0\n    error_count: 0\n  loop_tasks:\n    #

Debug: Print all available data\n    print(f\"\ud83d\udd0d Available inputs: {list(inputs.keys())}\")\n    print(f\"\ud83d\udd0d Loop state keys: {list(loop_state.keys())}\")\n    \n    # Debug: Print specific values\n    for key in [\u0027company_name\u0027, \u0027company_id\u0027, \u0027status\u0027, \u0027fy_folders\u0027]:\n        value = inputs.get(key, \u0027NOT_FOUND\u0027)\n        print(f\"\ud83d\udd0d {key}: {value}\")\n    \n    # Now access the flattened data\n    company_name = inputs.get(\u0027company_name\u0027, \u0027Unknown\u0027)\n    company_id = inputs.get(\u0027company_id\u0027, \u0027\u0027)\n    \n    # Process your data...\n    outputs = {\"processed\": f\"Company {company_name}\"}\n    print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(outputs)}\")\n```\n\n#### Real Example: Task Output Flattening\n\n```yaml\n# Task 1 outputs this structure:\n__OUTPUTS__ {\"company_name\": \"LTTS\", \"company_id\": \"123\", \"fy_folders\": [{\"id\": \"456\", \"name\": \"FY24\"}], \"status\": \"success\"}\n\n# Task 2 receives flattened inputs:\ninputs = {\n    \"folder_id\": \"...\",           # Workflow input\n    \"gemini_api_key\": \"...\",      # Workflow input  \n    \"list_company_folders\": {...}, # External task output\n    \"company_index\": 0,           # Loop iteration variable\n    \"company_name\": \"LTTS\",       # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"company_id\": \"123\",          # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"fy_folders\": [{\"id\": \"456\", \"name\": \"FY24\"}], # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"status\": \"success\",          # \u2705 Flattened from Task 1\n    \"total_extractions\": 0,       # Loop state variable\n    \"processed_companies\": []     # Loop state variable\n}\n```\n\n#### Loop Task Special Output Fields\n\n| Field | Description | Example Access |\n|-------|-------------|----------------|\n| `final_state` | Final values of all state variables | `${loop_task.final_state}` |\n| `final_state[\"variable_name\"]` | Specific state variable from final state | `${loop_task.final_state[\"total_processed\"]}` |\n| `iterations_completed` | Number of iterations executed | `${loop_task.iterations_completed}` |\n\n#### Safe Template Resolution Pattern for Loop States\n\nWhen accessing loop final state fields, use this safe parsing pattern:\n\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  try:\n      # Template resolution with safety checks\n      final_state_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.final_state}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      processed_count_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.final_state[\"processed_count\"]}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      items_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.final_state[\"processed_items\"]}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      iterations_str = \u0027\u0027\u0027${loop_task.iterations_completed}\u0027\u0027\u0027\n      \n      # Safe parsing with fallbacks\n      final_state = json.loads(final_state_str) if not final_state_str.startswith(\u0027UNRESOLVED_\u0027) else {}\n      processed_count = int(processed_count_str) if processed_count_str.isdigit() else 0\n      processed_items = json.loads(items_str) if not items_str.startswith(\u0027UNRESOLVED_\u0027) else []\n      iterations = int(iterations_str) if iterations_str.isdigit() else 0\n      \n      print(f\"Successfully processed {processed_count} items in {iterations} iterations\")\n      \n  except Exception as e:\n      print(f\"Error accessing loop results: {str(e)}\")\n      # Handle error case\n```\n```\n\n### Real-World AI Agent Example\n\nBased on actual WhatsApp workflow patterns:\n\n```yaml\n# AI greeting agent\n- id: greeting_agent\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: assistant_model\n    system_message: \"You are a helpful assistant. Generate a friendly greeting.\"\n    user_message: \"User said: ${user_message}\"\n\n# Send the AI response via API\n- id: send_greeting\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [greeting_agent]\n  previous_node: greeting_agent\n  script: |\n    import requests\n    import json\n    \n    # CORRECT: Access AI response from structured output\n    agent_output = ${greeting_agent}\n    ai_greeting = agent_output[\u0027ai_response\u0027].strip()\n    \n    phone_number = \"${phone_number}\"\n    api_token = \"${API_TOKEN}\"\n    \n    print(f\"\ud83e\udd16 AI generated greeting: {ai_greeting}\")\n    \n    # Send via API\n    url = f\"https://api.example.com/messages/{phone_number}\"\n    headers = {\"Authorization\": f\"Bearer {api_token}\"}\n    \n    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json={\n        \"message\": ai_greeting\n    })\n    \n    result = {\n        \"status\": \"sent\",\n        \"ai_response\": ai_greeting,\n        \"api_response\": response.json(),\n        \"tokens_used\": agent_output.get(\u0027token_usage\u0027, {}).get(\u0027total_tokens\u0027, 0)\n    }\n    \n    print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(result)}\")\n```\n\n### Complex Template Patterns\n\n```yaml\n# Conditional templates with router outputs\n- id: router_task\n  type: conditional_router\n  conditions:\n    -

template won\u0027t resolve\n  script: |\n    value = ${previous_task.name}  # Will become UNRESOLVED_previous_task.name\n```\n\n## Script Task Output Handling\n\nScript tasks must use the `__OUTPUTS__` marker pattern for proper output parsing by the workflow engine.\n\n### Required Output Pattern\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  -

They enable event-driven workflow execution.\n\n### Webhook Triggers\n\nWebhook triggers allow external systems to start workflows by sending HTTP requests.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: customer_webhook\n    type: webhook\n    description: \"Triggered when customer data is updated\"\n    config:\n      path: \"/webhooks/customer-updated\"      # Webhook endpoint path\n      method: POST                            # HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.)\n      authentication:\n        type: token                           # none|token|signature|basic\n        token: \"${WEBHOOK_SECRET}\"            # Required if type is token\n        header_name: \"X-Webhook-Token\"        # Optional: custom header name\n      validation:\n        required_fields: [\"customer.id\", \"customer.email\"]  # Required payload fields\n        content_type: \"application/json\"     # Expected content type\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: customer.id           # Field from webhook payload\n        workflow_input: customer_id          # Map to workflow input\n      - webhook_field: customer.email\n        workflow_input: customer_email\n      - webhook_field: customer.updated_at\n        workflow_input: update_timestamp\n```\n\n### Scheduled Triggers\n\nSchedule workflows to run at specific times or intervals.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: daily_report\n    type: schedule\n    description: \"Generate daily customer report\"\n    config:\n      cron: \"0 9 * * *\"                     # Daily at 9 AM (cron format)\n      timezone: \"UTC\"                       # Optional: timezone\n      enabled: true                         # Optional: enable/disable\n      max_instances: 1                      # Optional: max concurrent instances\n    input_mapping:\n      - workflow_input: report_date\n        default_value: \"${current_date}\"    # Use built-in variable\n      - workflow_input: report_type\n        default_value: \"daily\"\n\n  - name: weekly_cleanup\n    type: schedule\n    description: \"Weekly database cleanup\"\n    config:\n      cron: \"0 2 * * 0\"                     # Weekly on Sunday at 2 AM\n      timezone: \"America/New_York\"\n    input_mapping:\n      - workflow_input: cleanup_before_date\n        default_value: \"${date_minus_7_days}\"\n```\n\n### Event Triggers\n\nEvent triggers respond to system events from various sources.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: file_uploaded\n    type: event\n    description: \"Process uploaded files\"\n    config:\n      event_type: \"file.uploaded\"          # Event type to listen for\n      source: \"storage_service\"            # Event source system\n      filter:                              # Optional: event filtering\n        file_type: [\"csv\", \"json\", \"xlsx\"]\n        file_size_max: \"100MB\"\n        path_pattern: \"/uploads/customers/*\"\n      retry:                               # Optional: retry configuration\n        max_attempts: 3\n        initial_delay: \"5s\"\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: file.path\n        workflow_input: file_path\n      - webhook_field: file.size\n        workflow_input: file_size\n      - webhook_field: file.type\n        workflow_input: file_type\n\n  - name: order_status_changed\n    type: event\n    description: \"Handle order status changes\"\n    config:\n      event_type: \"order.status_changed\"\n      source: \"order_management\"\n      filter:\n        status: [\"completed\", \"cancelled\", \"refunded\"]\n        priority: [\"high\", \"urgent\"]\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: order.id\n        workflow_input: order_id\n      - webhook_field: order.status\n        workflow_input: new_status\n      - webhook_field: order.customer_id\n        workflow_input: customer_id\n```\n\n### Dependency Triggers\n\nDependency triggers start workflows when other workflows complete.\n\n```yaml\ntriggers:\n  - name: post_processing\n    type: dependency\n    description: \"Run after main processing completes\"\n    config:\n      depends_on_workflow: \"main_data_processing\"  # Workflow to depend on\n      depends_on_status: \"SUCCESS\"                 # SUCCESS|FAILED|COMPLETED\n      namespace: \"production\"                      # Optional: workflow namespace\n      timeout_minutes: 60                         # Optional: wait timeout\n    input_mapping:\n      - webhook_field: execution_id               # From completed workflow\n        workflow_input: source_execution_id\n      - webhook_field: workflow_outputs.processed_count\n        workflow_input: items_processed\n```\n\n## Model Client Configuration\n\nBefore defining AI-related tasks (ai_agent, chatbot, continuous_conversation), you must configure model clients. Model clients define which AI models to use and how to authenticate with them.\n\n### Basic Structure\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: unique_identifier              # Used to reference this model in tasks\n    provider: provider_name            # AI provider (openai, anthropic, etc.)\n    config:\n      model: model_name                # Specific model to use\n      api_key: your_api_key           # Authentication key\n      # Additional provider-specific options...\n```\n\n### Supported Providers\n\n#### OpenAI Provider\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: gpt4_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview       # Available: gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo\n      api_key: \"sk-your-openai-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-2.0\n      max_tokens: 2000                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\n```\n\n#### Anthropic Provider\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: claude_model\n    provider: anthropic\n    config:\n      model: claude-3-sonnet-20240229  # Available: claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku\n      api_key: \"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-1.0\n      max_tokens: 1500                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\n```\n\n#### OpenRouter Provider\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: openrouter_model\n    provider: openrouter\n    config:\n      model: anthropic/claude-3-sonnet # Available: Various models via OpenRouter\n      api_key: \"sk-or-your-openrouter-api-key\"\n      base_url: \"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1\"  # Optional: Custom endpoint\n      temperature: 0.7\n      max_tokens: 2000\n```\n\n#### Multiple Model Clients\n\nYou can define multiple model clients and reference them by their `id` in tasks:\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: fast_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-3.5-turbo\n      api_key: \"sk-your-openai-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.3\n      \n  - id: smart_model\n    provider: anthropic\n    config:\n      model: claude-3-opus-20240229\n      api_key: \"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\"\n      temperature: 0.7\n      \n  - id: creative_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\n      api_key: \"sk-your-openai-api-key\"\n      temperature: 1.2\n```\n\n### Using Model Clients in Tasks\n\nReference model clients in AI tasks using the `model_client_id` field:\n\n```yaml\ntasks:\n  - id: analysis_task\n    type: ai_agent\n    config:\n      model_client_id: smart_model     # References the claude model above\n      system_message: \"You are a data analyst...\"\n      user_message: \"Analyze this data: ${input_data}\"\n      \n  - id: creative_task\n    type: ai_agent\n    config:\n      model_client_id: creative_model  # References the creative GPT-4 model\n      system_message: \"You are a creative writer...\"\n      user_message: \"Write a story about ${topic}\"\n```\n\n### Environment Variables for API Keys\n\nFor security, use environment variables instead of hardcoding API keys:\n\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: secure_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\n      api_key: \"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\"     # References environment variable\n      temperature: 0.7\n```\n\n### Common Configuration Options\n\n| Field | Description | Required | Default |\n|-------|-------------|----------|---------|\n| `id` | Unique identifier for referencing in tasks | Yes | - |\n| `provider` | AI provider name | Yes | - |\n| `config.model` | Specific model name | Yes | - |\n| `config.api_key` | Authentication API key | Yes | - |\n| `config.temperature` | Response randomness (0.0-2.0) | No | 0.7 |\n| `config.max_tokens` | Maximum response tokens | No | Provider default |\n| `config.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds | No | 30 |\n| `config.base_url` | Custom API endpoint | No | Provider default |\n\n## Secrets Management and Environment Variables\n\nProper secrets management is crucial for security. Never hardcode sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens directly in workflow YAML files.\n\n### Using Environment Variables\n\nThe recommended approach is to use environment variables for all sensitive data:\n\n```yaml\n# \u2705 RECOMMENDED: Use environment variables\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: secure_openai\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\n      api_key: \"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\"          # References environment variable\n\n# HTTP tasks with environment variables\ntasks:\n  - id: secure_api_call\n    type: http\n    url: \"${API_BASE_URL}/customers\"       # Environment variable for URL\n    headers:\n      Authorization: \"Bearer ${API_TOKEN}\" # Environment variable for token\n      X-API-Key: \"${EXTERNAL_API_KEY}\"     # Environment variable for API key\n```\n\n### Environment Variable Patterns\n\n```yaml\n# Database connections\n- id: database_task\n  type: storage\n  config:\n    storage_type: database\n    connection_string: \"${DATABASE_URL}\"   # Full connection string\n    # or individual components:\n    host: \"${DB_HOST}\"\n    port: \"${DB_PORT}\"\n    database: \"${DB_NAME}\"\n    username: \"${DB_USER}\"\n    password: \"${DB_PASSWORD}\"\n\n# Third-party service credentials\n- id: external_service\n  type: http\n  url: \"${SERVICE_BASE_URL}/api/v1/data\"\n  headers:\n    Authorization: \"Bearer ${SERVICE_TOKEN}\"\n    X-Client-ID: \"${SERVICE_CLIENT_ID}\"\n    X-Client-Secret: \"${SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET}\"\n\n# MCP server credentials\n- id: mcp_task\n  type: mcp\n  mcp_server: \"@agentic/mcp-notion-server\"\n  environment_vars:\n    NOTION_TOKEN: \"${NOTION_API_TOKEN}\"\n    WORKSPACE_ID: \"${NOTION_WORKSPACE_ID}\"\n```\n\n### Security Best Practices\n\n#### \u274c What NOT to Do\n\n```yaml\n# DON\u0027T: Hardcode secrets\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: insecure_example\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      api_key: \"sk-actual-api-key-here\"    # SECURITY RISK!\n\n# DON\u0027T: Put secrets in comments\ntasks:\n  - id: bad_example\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com\"\n    # API key is: sk-12345...

id: fetch_customer        # Runs immediately\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com/customers/${customer_id}\"\n    \n  - id: fetch_products        # Runs in parallel with fetch_customer\n    type: http\n    url: \"https://api.example.com/products\"\n    \n  # Stage 2: Dependent tasks (wait for Stage 1)\n  - id: validate_customer     # Waits for fetch_customer\n    type: script\n    depends_on: [fetch_customer]\n    previous_node: fetch_customer\n    script: # validation logic...\n    \n  - id: filter_products       # Waits for fetch_products\n    type: script\n    depends_on: [fetch_products]\n    previous_node: fetch_products\n    script: # filtering logic...\n    \n  # Stage 3: Final processing (waits for Stage 2)\n  - id: generate_recommendations  # Waits for both validation and filtering\n    type: ai_agent\n    depends_on: [validate_customer, filter_products]\n    previous_node: validate_customer  # UI hierarchy under customer validation\n    config:\n      model_client_id: gpt4_model\n      system_message: \"Generate product recommendations for customer.\"\n      user_message: |\n        Customer: ${validate_customer}\n        Available products: ${filter_products}\n```\n\n### Task States and Lifecycle\n\nEach task goes through these states during execution:\n\n| State | Description | Next States |\n|-------|-------------|-------------|\n| `PENDING` | Task created, waiting for dependencies | `RUNNING`, `SKIPPED` |\n| `RUNNING` | Task is actively executing | `COMPLETED`, `FAILED` |\n| `COMPLETED` | Task finished successfully | - |\n| `FAILED` | Task encountered an error | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\n| `SKIPPED` | Task skipped due to conditions | - |\n| `TIMEOUT` | Task exceeded timeout limit | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\n\n### Conditional Execution\n\nTasks can be executed conditionally based on routes or conditions:\n\n```yaml\n# Router-based conditional execution\n- id: data_router\n  type: conditional_router\n  depends_on: [fetch_data]\n  previous_node: fetch_data\n  conditions:\n    -

Individual Task Inputs (Not Supported)\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\n  script: \"print(\u0027hello\u0027)\"\n  inputs:            # Wrong: tasks don\u0027t have individual inputs\n    search_query: ${search_query}\n    prev_result: ${previous_task}\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [previous_task]  # Use depends_on for data access\n  script: |\n    # Access workflow inputs directly\n    search_query = \"${search_query}\"\n    # Access previous task outputs via template resolution\n    prev_result = ${previous_task}\n```\n\n### 6. Incorrect Script Output Handling\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  result = process_data()\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result  # Wrong: missing __OUTPUTS__ pattern\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  result = process_data()\n  \n  # Required: Use outputs dict and __OUTPUTS__ marker\n  outputs = {}\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result\n  outputs[\u0027status\u0027] = \u0027success\u0027\n  \n  import json\n  print(f\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(outputs)}\")\n```\n\n### 7. AI Agent Configuration Errors\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\n- id: ai_task\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: my_model\n    prompt: \"Process this data: ${data}\"  # Wrong: use user_message\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\n- id: ai_task\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: my_model\n    system_message: \"You are a helpful assistant.\"\n    user_message: \"Process this data: ${data}\"  # Correct field name\n```\n\n### 8. Missing Dependencies for Template Resolution\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_2\n  type: script\n  # Missing depends_on\n  script: |\n    data = ${task_1}  # Will become UNRESOLVED_task_1\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\n- id: task_2\n  type: script\n  depends_on: [task_1]  # Required for template access\n  script: |\n    data = ${task_1}    # Now resolves correctly\n```\n\n### 9. Incorrect Model Client Configuration\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  my_model:          # Wrong: object mapping format\n    type: openai\n    api_key: \"sk-...\"\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: my_model     # Correct: array format with id field\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: \"gpt-4\"\n      api_key: \"sk-...\"\n```\n\n### 10. Empty String Literals Causing Python Syntax Errors\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  def process_data(path=\"\"):  # Wrong: empty string can cause syntax issues\n    current_path = f\"{path}.{key}\" if path else key\n  \n  # This can lead to: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\nscript: |\n  def process_data(path=None):  # Correct: use None instead of empty string\n    current_path = f\"{path}.{key}\" if path else key\n    # Or use path = path or \"default_value\"\n```\n\n### 11. YAML Indentation and Structure Issues\n\n**\u274c Error:**\n```yaml\ntasks:\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\nscript: |            # Wrong: inconsistent indentation\n  print(\"hello\")\n```\n\n**\u2705 Correct:**\n```yaml\ntasks:\n- id: task_1\n  type: script\n  script: |          # Correct: consistent indentation\n    print(\"hello\")\n```\n\n### Best Practices Summary\n\n1. **Always include required `id` fields** for workflows and tasks\n2. **Use array format** for `tasks`, `inputs`, and `model_clients`\n3. **Script field goes directly under task**, not under `config`\n4. **No individual task inputs** - use template resolution instead\n5. **Use `depends_on`** to access previous task outputs\n6. **Print `__OUTPUTS__`** in scripts for proper output parsing\n7. **Use `user_message`** (not `prompt`) for AI agent tasks\n8. **Avoid empty string literals** - use `None` or meaningful defaults\n9. **Follow consistent YAML indentation** throughout the file\n\n## MCP Tools and Function Calling\n\nAI agents and chatbots can use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for function calling, enabling them to execute external tools and services.\n\n### Tools Configuration\n\nBoth `ai_agent` and `chatbot` tasks support tools configuration:\n\n```yaml\n# AI Agent with MCP tools\n- id: ai_with_tools\n  type: ai_agent\n  config:\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\n    system_message: |\n      You are a helpful assistant with access to various tools.\n      Use the available tools when needed to help users.\n    user_message: \"What time is it and what\u0027s the weather like?\"\n    \n    # Tools configuration\n    tools:                              # List of MCP tool names\n      - current_time                    # Time tools\n      - relative_time\n      - days_in_month\n      - weather_forecast                # Weather tools\n      - database_query                  # Database tools\n      - send_notification               # Communication tools\n    \n    tenant_id: \"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\"  # Required for tool resolution\n\n# Chatbot with MCP tools\n- id: chatbot_with_tools\n  type: chatbot\n  config:\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\n    system_message: |\n      You are a helpful chatbot with access to tools.\n      Use tools when users ask for specific information or actions.\n    \n    # Tools configuration (same format as AI agent)\n    tools:\n      - current_time\n      - weather_api\n      - user_preferences\n    \n    tenant_id: \"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\"  # Required for tool resolution\n```\n\n### How Tools Work\n\n1. **Tool Resolution**: The workflow engine resolves tool names to actual MCP server deployments using the `tenant_id`\n2. **Function Calling**: When the AI model decides to use a tool, it calls the `tool_executor` function\n3. **Tool Execution**: The engine executes the specified tool via the appropriate MCP server\n4. **Response Integration**: Tool results are fed back to the AI model for response generation\n\n### Tool Configuration Requirements\n\n| Field | Required | Description |\n|-------|----------|-------------|\n| `tools` | No | List of MCP tool names available to the AI |\n| `tenant_id` | **Yes** (when using tools) | Tenant UUID for tool resolution |\n\n### Example: Complete AI Agent with Tools\n\n```yaml\nid: intelligent_assistant\nname: \"Intelligent Assistant with Tools\"\n\nmodel_clients:\n  - id: gpt4_model\n    provider: openai\n    config:\n      model: gpt-4o-mini\n      api_key: \"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\"\n      temperature: 0.3\n\n# Tenant ID can be set at workflow level for all tasks\ntenant_id: \"0572fa8d-d7c3-47db-9219-ef40b80d42b7\"\n\ntasks:\n  -

Sending notifications\n        \n        Always explain what tool you\u0027re using and why.\n      \n      user_message: \"${user_query}\"\n      \n      # MCP tools configuration\n      tools:\n        - current_time\n        - relative_time\n        - days_in_month\n        - weather_forecast\n        - send_notification\n      \n      # Tool resolution requires tenant_id\n      tenant_id: \"0572fa8d-d7c3-47db-9219-ef40b80d42b7\"\n      \n      temperature: 0.7\n      max_tokens: 1000\n\ninputs:\n  - name: user_query\n    type: string\n    required: true\n    default: \"What time is it and can you send a notification to user123?\"\n\noutputs:\n  ai_response:\n    type: string\n    source: assistant_with_tools.ai_response\n    description: \"AI response using tools when needed\"\n```\n\n### Tool Execution Flow\n\n1. **User Input**: User provides a query that might require tool usage\n2. **AI Analysis**: AI model analyzes the query and decides if tools are needed\n3. **Tool Calling**: AI calls `tool_executor(deployment_id, tool_name, arguments)`\n4. **Tool Resolution**: Engine resolves tool name to MCP server using tenant_id\n5. **Tool Execution**: MCP server executes the requested tool\n6. **Result Processing**: Tool results are returned to the AI model\n7. **Response Generation**: AI generates final response incorporating tool results\n\n### Best Practices for Tools\n\n1. **Clear System Messages**: Explain available tools and when to use them\n2. **Tool Categories**: Group related tools (time, weather, database, etc.)\n3. **Error Handling**: AI models handle tool execution failures gracefully\n4. **Tool Documentation**: Include tool descriptions in system messages\n5. **Tenant Configuration**: Ensure tenant_id matches your MCP server setup\n\n---\n\n*This comprehensive reference covers all supported task types and their YAML configurations.

id: quick_task\\n    type: script\\n    # Uses workflow-level timeout (2h)\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Quick task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: custom_timeout_task\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: \\\"30m\\\"               # Override with 30 minute timeout\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Custom timeout task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: long_running_task\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # 10 minutes (integer format)\\n    script: |\\n      import time\\n      time.sleep(300)  # 5 minute processing\\n      print(\\\"Long task completed\\\")\\n```\\n\\n#### Timeout-Free Communication\\n\\nThe workflow engine automatically uses **timeout-free communication** for long-running tasks to prevent timeout-related failures:\\n\\n- **Loop tasks**: Always use timeout-free communication (event-driven execution)\\n- **Script tasks**: Use timeout-free communication when `timeout_seconds \u003e 180` (host timeout threshold)\\n- **Other task types**: Use standard timeout-based communication\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: short_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 60                  # Uses standard timeout-based communication\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Short script\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: long_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # Uses timeout-free communication (600 \u003e 180)\\n    script: |\\n      import time\\n      print(\\\"\\ud83d\\ude80 This uses timeout-free communication\\\")\\n      time.sleep(300)  # Won\u0027t cause timeout issues\\n      print(\\\"Long script completed\\\")\\n      \\n  - id: data_processing_loop\\n    type: loop\\n    timeout_seconds: \\\"1h\\\"                # Always uses timeout-free communication\\n    loop_type: for\\n    max_iterations: 10\\n    # Loop tasks automatically use timeout-free communication\\n```\\n\\n#### Loop Task Timeout Inheritance\\n\\nLoop tasks can pass timeout configuration to their inner script tasks:\\n\\n```yaml\\n- id: batch_processing_loop\\n  type: loop\\n  timeout_seconds: \\\"30m\\\"                 # Loop-level timeout\\n  loop_type: for\\n  max_iterations: 5\\n  loop_tasks:\\n    - id: process_batch\\n      type: script\\n      # Inherits 30-minute timeout from parent loop\\n      script: |\\n        print(\\\"Processing batch with inherited timeout\\\")\\n        # This script will use the 30-minute timeout from the loop\\n```\\n\\n#### Best Practices for Timeout Configuration\\n\\n1. **Use duration strings** for readability: `\\\"5m\\\"` vs `300`\\n2. **Set appropriate timeouts** based on expected execution time plus buffer\\n3. **Long-running tasks**: Set `timeout_seconds \u003e 180` to enable timeout-free communication\\n4. **Loop tasks**: Always get timeout-free communication automatically\\n5. **Critical tasks**: Use shorter timeouts for fail-fast behavior\\n6. **External API calls**: Use longer timeouts to account for network latency\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Example: Well-configured timeout workflow\\ntimeout_seconds: \\\"1h\\\"                    # Reasonable workflow timeout\\n\\ntasks:\\n  -

Execution Dependencies:**\\n- Controls actual task execution order\\n- Enables template resolution and data access\\n- Required for accessing outputs from other tasks\\n- Validates that referenced tasks exist\\n- Multiple tasks can be specified\\n\\n**`previous_node` - Task Connectivity and UI Hierarchy:**\\n- **REQUIRED for proper task connectivity in UI**\\n- Essential for workflow visualization and task linking\\n- Critical for execution flow representation\\n- Single task reference only\\n- **Without this field, tasks won\u0027t be properly connected in the UI**\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  -

This is essential for creating dynamic workflows where tasks pass data to each other.\\n\\n### Basic Template Syntax\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Access workflow inputs\\nscript: |\\n  customer_name = \\\"${customer_name}\\\"  # From workflow inputs\\n  \\n# Access previous task outputs\\nscript: |\\n  previous_result = ${data_fetch_task}  # Entire output from data_fetch_task\\n  specific_field = ${data_fetch_task.customer_id}  # Specific field\\n  \\n# Access built-in variables\\nscript: |\\n  workflow_id = \\\"${workflow_id}\\\"\\n  execution_id = \\\"${execution_id}\\\"\\n  timestamp = \\\"${current_timestamp}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Available Built-in Variables\\n\\n| Variable | Description | Example Value |\\n|----------|-------------|---------------|\\n| `${workflow_id}` | Current workflow identifier | `customer_processor` |\\n| `${execution_id}` | Unique execution identifier | `exec_12345_abcde` |\\n| `${namespace}` | Workflow namespace | `production` |\\n| `${current_timestamp}` | ISO timestamp | `2024-01-15T10:30:00Z` |\\n| `${started_at}` | Workflow start time | `2024-01-15T10:29:45Z` |\\n\\n### Task Output Resolution\\n\\nTasks can access outputs from other tasks they depend on:\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: fetch_customer\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"https://api.example.com/customers/${customer_id}\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: process_customer\\n    type: script\\n    depends_on: [fetch_customer]  # Required for template access\\n    previous_node: fetch_customer\\n    script: |\\n      # Access entire response\\n      customer_data = ${fetch_customer}\\n      \\n      # Access specific fields\\n      customer_name = \\\"${fetch_customer.name}\\\"\\n      customer_email = \\\"${fetch_customer.email}\\\"\\n      \\n      # Process the data\\n      result = {\\n          \\\"processed_name\\\": customer_name.upper(),\\n          \\\"domain\\\": customer_email.split(\\\"@\\\")[1]\\n      }\\n      print(f\\\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(result)}\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### AI Agent Output Resolution\\n\\nAI agent tasks return structured output that requires specific access patterns:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# AI Agent task\\n- id: ai_analysis_task\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: \\\"Analyze the customer data and provide insights.\\\"\\n    user_message: \\\"Customer data: ${customer_data}\\\"\\n\\n# Accessing AI agent output in subsequent tasks\\n- id: process_ai_response\\n  type: script\\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\\n  previous_node: ai_analysis_task\\n  script: |\\n    # CORRECT: AI agents return structured output\\n    agent_output = ${ai_analysis_task}\\n    ai_response = agent_output[\u0027ai_response\u0027].strip()\\n    \\n    # Additional metadata available\\n    token_usage = agent_output.get(\u0027token_usage\u0027, {})\\n    model_used = agent_output.get(\u0027model\u0027, \u0027unknown\u0027)\\n    \\n    # Process the AI response\\n    processed_analysis = {\\n        \\\"analysis\\\": ai_response,\\n        \\\"tokens_used\\\": token_usage.get(\u0027total_tokens\u0027, 0),\\n        \\\"model\\\": model_used,\\n        \\\"processed_at\\\": \\\"${current_timestamp}\\\"\\n    }\\n    \\n    print(f\\\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(processed_analysis)}\\\")\\n\\n# INCORRECT: Direct access won\u0027t work\\n- id: incorrect_ai_access\\n  type: script\\n  depends_on: [ai_analysis_task]\\n  script: |\\n    # \\u274c This will not work correctly\\n    ai_response = ${ai_analysis_task}  # Returns full agent object\\n    # ai_response is now a dict, not the actual response text\\n```\\n\\n### AI Agent Response Structure\\n\\nAI agent tasks return a structured object with the following format:\\n\\n```json\\n{\\n  \\\"ai_response\\\": \\\"The actual AI-generated text response\\\",\\n  \\\"model\\\": \\\"gpt-4-turbo-preview\\\",\\n  \\\"token_usage\\\": {\\n    \\\"prompt_tokens\\\": 150,\\n    \\\"completion_tokens\\\": 75,\\n    \\\"total_tokens\\\": 225\\n  },\\n  \\\"estimated_cost\\\": {\\n    \\\"amount\\\": 0.00337,\\n    \\\"currency\\\": \\\"USD\\\"\\n  },\\n  \\\"provider\\\": \\\"openai\\\",\\n  \\\"timestamp\\\": \\\"2024-01-15T10:30:00Z\\\"\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Loop Task Data Access and Dependencies\\n\\nLoop tasks have a special execution context that differs from regular workflow tasks.

Model clients define which AI models to use and how to authenticate with them.\\n\\n### Basic Structure\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: unique_identifier              # Used to reference this model in tasks\\n    provider: provider_name            # AI provider (openai, anthropic, etc.)\\n    config:\\n      model: model_name                # Specific model to use\\n      api_key: your_api_key           # Authentication key\\n      # Additional provider-specific options...\\n```\\n\\n### Supported Providers\\n\\n#### OpenAI Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: gpt4_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview       # Available: gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-2.0\\n      max_tokens: 2000                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### Anthropic Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: claude_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-sonnet-20240229  # Available: claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-1.0\\n      max_tokens: 1500                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### OpenRouter Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: openrouter_model\\n    provider: openrouter\\n    config:\\n      model: anthropic/claude-3-sonnet # Available: Various models via OpenRouter\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-or-your-openrouter-api-key\\\"\\n      base_url: \\\"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1\\\"  # Optional: Custom endpoint\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      max_tokens: 2000\\n```\\n\\n#### Multiple Model Clients\\n\\nYou can define multiple model clients and reference them by their `id` in tasks:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: fast_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.3\\n      \\n  - id: smart_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-opus-20240229\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      \\n  - id: creative_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 1.2\\n```\\n\\n### Using Model Clients in Tasks\\n\\nReference model clients in AI tasks using the `model_client_id` field:\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: analysis_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: smart_model     # References the claude model above\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a data analyst...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Analyze this data: ${input_data}\\\"\\n      \\n  - id: creative_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: creative_model  # References the creative GPT-4 model\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a creative writer...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Write a story about ${topic}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variables for API Keys\\n\\nFor security, use environment variables instead of hardcoding API keys:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"     # References environment variable\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n```\\n\\n### Common Configuration Options\\n\\n| Field | Description | Required | Default |\\n|-------|-------------|----------|---------|\\n| `id` | Unique identifier for referencing in tasks | Yes | - |\\n| `provider` | AI provider name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.model` | Specific model name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.api_key` | Authentication API key | Yes | - |\\n| `config.temperature` | Response randomness (0.0-2.0) | No | 0.7 |\\n| `config.max_tokens` | Maximum response tokens | No | Provider default |\\n| `config.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds | No | 30 |\\n| `config.base_url` | Custom API endpoint | No | Provider default |\\n\\n## Secrets Management and Environment Variables\\n\\nProper secrets management is crucial for security. Never hardcode sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens directly in workflow YAML files.\\n\\n### Using Environment Variables\\n\\nThe recommended approach is to use environment variables for all sensitive data:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# \\u2705 RECOMMENDED: Use environment variables\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_openai\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"          # References environment variable\\n\\n# HTTP tasks with environment variables\\ntasks:\\n  - id: secure_api_call\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"${API_BASE_URL}/customers\\\"       # Environment variable for URL\\n    headers:\\n      Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${API_TOKEN}\\\" # Environment variable for token\\n      X-API-Key: \\\"${EXTERNAL_API_KEY}\\\"     # Environment variable for API key\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variable Patterns\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Database connections\\n- id: database_task\\n  type: storage\\n  config:\\n    storage_type: database\\n    connection_string: \\\"${DATABASE_URL}\\\"   # Full connection string\\n    # or individual components:\\n    host: \\\"${DB_HOST}\\\"\\n    port: \\\"${DB_PORT}\\\"\\n    database: \\\"${DB_NAME}\\\"\\n    username: \\\"${DB_USER}\\\"\\n    password: \\\"${DB_PASSWORD}\\\"\\n\\n# Third-party service credentials\\n- id: external_service\\n  type: http\\n  url: \\\"${SERVICE_BASE_URL}/api/v1/data\\\"\\n  headers:\\n    Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${SERVICE_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    X-Client-ID: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_ID}\\\"\\n    X-Client-Secret: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET}\\\"\\n\\n# MCP server credentials\\n- id: mcp_task\\n  type: mcp\\n  mcp_server: \\\"@agentic/mcp-notion-server\\\"\\n  environment_vars:\\n    NOTION_TOKEN: \\\"${NOTION_API_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    WORKSPACE_ID: \\\"${NOTION_WORKSPACE_ID}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Security Best Practices\\n\\n#### \\u274c What NOT to Do\\n\\n```yaml\\n# DON\u0027T: Hardcode secrets\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: insecure_example\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-actual-api-key-here\\\"    # SECURITY RISK!\\n\\n# DON\u0027T: Put secrets in comments\\ntasks:\\n  - id: bad_example\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"https://api.example.com\\\"\\n    # API key is: sk-12345...

YAML Indentation and Structure Issues\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\nscript: |            # Wrong: inconsistent indentation\\n  print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\n  script: |          # Correct: consistent indentation\\n    print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### Best Practices Summary\\n\\n1. **Always include required `id` fields** for workflows and tasks\\n2. **Use array format** for `tasks`, `inputs`, and `model_clients`\\n3. **Script field goes directly under task**, not under `config`\\n4. **No individual task inputs** - use template resolution instead\\n5. **Use `depends_on`** to access previous task outputs\\n6. **Print `__OUTPUTS__`** in scripts for proper output parsing\\n7. **Use `user_message`** (not `prompt`) for AI agent tasks\\n8. **Avoid empty string literals** - use `None` or meaningful defaults\\n9. **Follow consistent YAML indentation** throughout the file\\n\\n## MCP Tools and Function Calling\\n\\nAI agents and chatbots can use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for function calling, enabling them to execute external tools and services.\\n\\n### Tools Configuration\\n\\nBoth `ai_agent` and `chatbot` tasks support tools configuration:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# AI Agent with MCP tools\\n- id: ai_with_tools\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: |\\n      You are a helpful assistant with access to various tools.\\n      Use the available tools when needed to help users.\\n    user_message: \\\"What time is it and what\u0027s the weather like?\\\"\\n    \\n    # Tools configuration\\n    tools:                              # List of MCP tool names\\n      - current_time                    # Time tools\\n      - relative_time\\n      - days_in_month\\n      - weather_forecast                # Weather tools\\n      - database_query                  # Database tools\\n      - send_notification               # Communication tools\\n    \\n    tenant_id: \\\"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\\\"  # Required for tool resolution\\n\\n# Chatbot with MCP tools\\n- id: chatbot_with_tools\\n  type: chatbot\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: |\\n      You are a helpful chatbot with access to tools.\\n      Use tools when users ask for specific information or actions.\\n    \\n    # Tools configuration (same format as AI agent)\\n    tools:\\n      - current_time\\n      - weather_api\\n      - user_preferences\\n    \\n    tenant_id: \\\"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000\\\"  # Required for tool resolution\\n```\\n\\n### How Tools Work\\n\\n1. **Tool Resolution**: The workflow engine resolves tool names to actual MCP server deployments using the `tenant_id`\\n2. **Function Calling**: When the AI model decides to use a tool, it calls the `tool_executor` function\\n3. **Tool Execution**: The engine executes the specified tool via the appropriate MCP server\\n4. **Response Integration**: Tool results are fed back to the AI model for response generation\\n\\n### Tool Configuration Requirements\\n\\n| Field | Required | Description |\\n|-------|----------|-------------|\\n| `tools` | No | List of MCP tool names available to the AI |\\n| `tenant_id` | **Yes** (when using tools) | Tenant UUID for tool resolution |\\n\\n### Example: Complete AI Agent with Tools\\n\\n```yaml\\nid: intelligent_assistant\\nname: \\\"Intelligent Assistant with Tools\\\"\\n\\nmodel_clients:\\n  -

id: quick_task\\n    type: script\\n    # Uses workflow-level timeout (2h)\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Quick task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: custom_timeout_task\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: \\\"30m\\\"               # Override with 30 minute timeout\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Custom timeout task\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  -

id: short_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 60                  # Uses standard timeout-based communication\\n    script: \\\"print(\u0027Short script\u0027)\\\"\\n    \\n  - id: long_script\\n    type: script\\n    timeout_seconds: 600                 # Uses timeout-free communication (600 \u003e 180)\\n    script: |\\n      import time\\n      print(\\\"\\ud83d\\ude80 This uses timeout-free communication\\\")\\n      time.sleep(300)  # Won\u0027t cause timeout issues\\n      print(\\\"Long script completed\\\")\\n      \\n  -

Execution Dependencies:**\\n- Controls actual task execution order\\n- Enables template resolution and data access\\n- Required for accessing outputs from other tasks\\n- Validates that referenced tasks exist\\n- Multiple tasks can be specified\\n\\n**`previous_node` - Task Connectivity and UI Hierarchy:**\\n- **REQUIRED for proper task connectivity in UI**\\n- Essential for workflow visualization and task linking\\n- Critical for execution flow representation\\n- Single task reference only\\n- **Without this field, tasks won\u0027t be properly connected in the UI**\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  -

Model clients define which AI models to use and how to authenticate with them.\\n\\n### Basic Structure\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: unique_identifier              # Used to reference this model in tasks\\n    provider: provider_name            # AI provider (openai, anthropic, etc.)\\n    config:\\n      model: model_name                # Specific model to use\\n      api_key: your_api_key           # Authentication key\\n      # Additional provider-specific options...\\n```\\n\\n### Supported Providers\\n\\n#### OpenAI Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: gpt4_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview       # Available: gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-2.0\\n      max_tokens: 2000                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### Anthropic Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: claude_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-sonnet-20240229  # Available: claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7                 # Optional: 0.0-1.0\\n      max_tokens: 1500                 # Optional: Maximum response tokens\\n      timeout: 30                      # Optional: Request timeout (seconds)\\n```\\n\\n#### OpenRouter Provider\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: openrouter_model\\n    provider: openrouter\\n    config:\\n      model: anthropic/claude-3-sonnet # Available: Various models via OpenRouter\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-or-your-openrouter-api-key\\\"\\n      base_url: \\\"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1\\\"  # Optional: Custom endpoint\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      max_tokens: 2000\\n```\\n\\n#### Multiple Model Clients\\n\\nYou can define multiple model clients and reference them by their `id` in tasks:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: fast_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-3.5-turbo\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.3\\n      \\n  - id: smart_model\\n    provider: anthropic\\n    config:\\n      model: claude-3-opus-20240229\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-ant-your-anthropic-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n      \\n  - id: creative_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-your-openai-api-key\\\"\\n      temperature: 1.2\\n```\\n\\n### Using Model Clients in Tasks\\n\\nReference model clients in AI tasks using the `model_client_id` field:\\n\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n  - id: analysis_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: smart_model     # References the claude model above\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a data analyst...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Analyze this data: ${input_data}\\\"\\n      \\n  - id: creative_task\\n    type: ai_agent\\n    config:\\n      model_client_id: creative_model  # References the creative GPT-4 model\\n      system_message: \\\"You are a creative writer...\\\"\\n      user_message: \\\"Write a story about ${topic}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variables for API Keys\\n\\nFor security, use environment variables instead of hardcoding API keys:\\n\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_model\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"     # References environment variable\\n      temperature: 0.7\\n```\\n\\n### Common Configuration Options\\n\\n| Field | Description | Required | Default |\\n|-------|-------------|----------|---------|\\n| `id` | Unique identifier for referencing in tasks | Yes | - |\\n| `provider` | AI provider name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.model` | Specific model name | Yes | - |\\n| `config.api_key` | Authentication API key | Yes | - |\\n| `config.temperature` | Response randomness (0.0-2.0) | No | 0.7 |\\n| `config.max_tokens` | Maximum response tokens | No | Provider default |\\n| `config.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds | No | 30 |\\n| `config.base_url` | Custom API endpoint | No | Provider default |\\n\\n## Secrets Management and Environment Variables\\n\\nProper secrets management is crucial for security. Never hardcode sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens directly in workflow YAML files.\\n\\n### Using Environment Variables\\n\\nThe recommended approach is to use environment variables for all sensitive data:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# \\u2705 RECOMMENDED: Use environment variables\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: secure_openai\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: gpt-4-turbo-preview\\n      api_key: \\\"${OPENAI_API_KEY}\\\"          # References environment variable\\n\\n# HTTP tasks with environment variables\\ntasks:\\n  - id: secure_api_call\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"${API_BASE_URL}/customers\\\"       # Environment variable for URL\\n    headers:\\n      Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${API_TOKEN}\\\" # Environment variable for token\\n      X-API-Key: \\\"${EXTERNAL_API_KEY}\\\"     # Environment variable for API key\\n```\\n\\n### Environment Variable Patterns\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Database connections\\n- id: database_task\\n  type: storage\\n  config:\\n    storage_type: database\\n    connection_string: \\\"${DATABASE_URL}\\\"   # Full connection string\\n    # or individual components:\\n    host: \\\"${DB_HOST}\\\"\\n    port: \\\"${DB_PORT}\\\"\\n    database: \\\"${DB_NAME}\\\"\\n    username: \\\"${DB_USER}\\\"\\n    password: \\\"${DB_PASSWORD}\\\"\\n\\n# Third-party service credentials\\n- id: external_service\\n  type: http\\n  url: \\\"${SERVICE_BASE_URL}/api/v1/data\\\"\\n  headers:\\n    Authorization: \\\"Bearer ${SERVICE_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    X-Client-ID: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_ID}\\\"\\n    X-Client-Secret: \\\"${SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET}\\\"\\n\\n# MCP server credentials\\n- id: mcp_task\\n  type: mcp\\n  mcp_server: \\\"@agentic/mcp-notion-server\\\"\\n  environment_vars:\\n    NOTION_TOKEN: \\\"${NOTION_API_TOKEN}\\\"\\n    WORKSPACE_ID: \\\"${NOTION_WORKSPACE_ID}\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Security Best Practices\\n\\n#### \\u274c What NOT to Do\\n\\n```yaml\\n# DON\u0027T: Hardcode secrets\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: insecure_example\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-actual-api-key-here\\\"    # SECURITY RISK!\\n\\n# DON\u0027T: Put secrets in comments\\ntasks:\\n  - id: bad_example\\n    type: http\\n    url: \\\"https://api.example.com\\\"\\n    # API key is: sk-12345...

|\\n| `FAILED` | Task encountered an error | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\\n| `SKIPPED` | Task skipped due to conditions | - |\\n| `TIMEOUT` | Task exceeded timeout limit | `RUNNING` (if retries) |\\n\\n### Conditional Execution\\n\\nTasks can be executed conditionally based on routes or conditions:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# Router-based conditional execution\\n- id: data_router\\n  type: conditional_router\\n  depends_on: [fetch_data]\\n  previous_node: fetch_data\\n  conditions:\\n    -

Incorrect Script Output Handling\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  result = process_data()\\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result  # Wrong: missing __OUTPUTS__ pattern\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  result = process_data()\\n  \\n  # Required: Use outputs dict and __OUTPUTS__ marker\\n  outputs = {}\\n  outputs[\u0027result\u0027] = result\\n  outputs[\u0027status\u0027] = \u0027success\u0027\\n  \\n  import json\\n  print(f\\\"__OUTPUTS__ {json.dumps(outputs)}\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### 7. AI Agent Configuration Errors\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: ai_task\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: my_model\\n    prompt: \\\"Process this data: ${data}\\\"  # Wrong: use user_message\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: ai_task\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: my_model\\n    system_message: \\\"You are a helpful assistant.\\\"\\n    user_message: \\\"Process this data: ${data}\\\"  # Correct field name\\n```\\n\\n### 8. Missing Dependencies for Template Resolution\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: task_2\\n  type: script\\n  # Missing depends_on\\n  script: |\\n    data = ${task_1}  # Will become UNRESOLVED_task_1\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\n- id: task_2\\n  type: script\\n  depends_on: [task_1]  # Required for template access\\n  script: |\\n    data = ${task_1}    # Now resolves correctly\\n```\\n\\n### 9. Incorrect Model Client Configuration\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  my_model:          # Wrong: object mapping format\\n    type: openai\\n    api_key: \\\"sk-...\\\"\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\nmodel_clients:\\n  - id: my_model     # Correct: array format with id field\\n    provider: openai\\n    config:\\n      model: \\\"gpt-4\\\"\\n      api_key: \\\"sk-...\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### 10. Empty String Literals Causing Python Syntax Errors\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  def process_data(path=\\\"\\\"):  # Wrong: empty string can cause syntax issues\\n    current_path = f\\\"{path}.{key}\\\" if path else key\\n  \\n  # This can lead to: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\nscript: |\\n  def process_data(path=None):  # Correct: use None instead of empty string\\n    current_path = f\\\"{path}.{key}\\\" if path else key\\n    # Or use path = path or \\\"default_value\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### 11. YAML Indentation and Structure Issues\\n\\n**\\u274c Error:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\nscript: |            # Wrong: inconsistent indentation\\n  print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n**\\u2705 Correct:**\\n```yaml\\ntasks:\\n- id: task_1\\n  type: script\\n  script: |          # Correct: consistent indentation\\n    print(\\\"hello\\\")\\n```\\n\\n### Best Practices Summary\\n\\n1. **Always include required `id` fields** for workflows and tasks\\n2. **Use array format** for `tasks`, `inputs`, and `model_clients`\\n3. **Script field goes directly under task**, not under `config`\\n4. **No individual task inputs** - use template resolution instead\\n5. **Use `depends_on`** to access previous task outputs\\n6. **Print `__OUTPUTS__`** in scripts for proper output parsing\\n7. **Use `user_message`** (not `prompt`) for AI agent tasks\\n8. **Avoid empty string literals** - use `None` or meaningful defaults\\n9. **Follow consistent YAML indentation** throughout the file\\n\\n## MCP Tools and Function Calling\\n\\nAI agents and chatbots can use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for function calling, enabling them to execute external tools and services.\\n\\n### Tools Configuration\\n\\nBoth `ai_agent` and `chatbot` tasks support tools configuration:\\n\\n```yaml\\n# AI Agent with MCP tools\\n- id: ai_with_tools\\n  type: ai_agent\\n  config:\\n    model_client_id: gpt4_model\\n    system_message: |\\n      You are a helpful assistant with access to various tools.\\n      Use the available tools when needed to help users.\\n    user_message: \\\"What time is it and what\u0027s the weather like?\\\"\\n    \\n    # Tools configuration\\n    tools:                              # List of MCP tool names\\n      -
