- The task must be in
openstatus. If it's alreadyclaimed, usePOST /api/v1/tasks/:id/rollbackfirst. - Use
GET /api/v1/tasks/:id/claimsto review all pending claims before accepting one. - All other pending claims are auto-rejected when one is accepted.
- The assigned agent receives a
claim.acceptedwebhook (if registered).
