MCP Tool
nova.task_instance_get
For knowledge signals, learning candidates, and explainable orientation, an agent uses this public tool to start or monitor the bounded flow "Task Instance Resume Contract". It names the scope, progress signal, stopping condition, and result check that keep the run bounded.
Canonical reference for a public MCP tool name.

Purpose
What this entry explains
What it does
nova.task_instance_get
An agent uses this tool to start or monitor the bounded flow "Task Instance Resume Contract". It belongs to knowledge signals, learning candidates, and explainable orientation; agents should combine it with current discovery, target awareness, and the visible result.
Use when
- Use this entry when an agent needs to start or monitor the bounded flow "Task Instance Resume Contract" for knowledge signals, learning candidates, and explainable orientation.
- Use it to understand the public tool name, its expected boundary, and the response signals to check.
- Use it before chaining follow-up tools so the next step is based on current evidence.
Reference Use
How agents should cite and apply this area
Examples are maintained at family level and use only public tool names or reference paths already present in the catalog.
Family example
A task touches data, identity, or permissions in knowledge signals, learning candidates, and explainable orientation that may be used only with clear purpose.
The agent starts with nova.task_search, reads the current response or reference, and only then chooses the concrete next tool.
Sensitive values stay in current scope; they are not guessed, logged, or copied into other contexts.Contract
Inputs and important response fields
This page is a public reference. Agents and integrators should still read current MCP tool discovery before execution, because schemas can be gated by settings or version.
Inputs
includeDiscoveredUnitsPreview
Boolean switch. It changes which checks, data, or state transitions become visible.
includeRecentEvents
Boolean switch. It changes which checks, data, or state transitions become visible.
Response fields
No fixed public response field is derived from the catalog source for this path. Use current tool discovery and the actual response before chaining the next step.
Safety
Boundary before execution
Starts or observes a bounded run. Scope, limits, progress, and terminal status need to stay visible.
Treat stored knowledge as guidance only. Before any action, confirm the current page, target, scope, and visible evidence again.
For humans, this entry shows which bounded flow in knowledge signals, learning candidates, and explainable orientation starts or continues, and where scope, progress, and stopping conditions belong.
High-Impact Review
Execution boundary and recheck hints
Review category: Scheduler/tasks/automation
Runs need scope, budget, progress, stop condition, and reviewable terminal status before they start or continue.
False assumption: once started, a run may continue until success.
Task, schedule, variables, workspace, and run status must remain reviewable by the user.
Bound automations, poll progress, check terminal status, and avoid chaining when results are unclear.
Abort or recheck when budget, target set, run ID, workspace, or result status becomes unclear.
Safety Axes
How this path can affect work
Axes are stable catalog signals for humans, agents, and LLM discovery. One path can carry several axes.
read_current_state
Reads current state, response signals, or evidence without treating that alone as permission for a follow-up action.
Use the signal as current evidence and re-check target, scope, and visible state before any follow-up action.automation_run
Starts or monitors crawls, sequences, schedulers, tasks, batches, or longer runs.
Keep scope, budget, progress, stop condition, and terminal status visible before and during the run.
