At a glance

Explicitly check on a Tendem task and advance it (poll cleanly, don't busy-loop).

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Tendem Status is an agent skill from Toloka/tendem-mcp. Explicitly check on a Tendem task and advance it (poll cleanly, don't busy-loop). Invoke as $tendem-status [taskid] — omit the taskid to pick from recent tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: Home for Human In The Loop Tendem plugin for your agent. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/tendem-status”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 683885a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tendem Status loads about 349 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~349

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Explicitly check on a Tendem task and advance it (poll cleanly, don't busy-loop). Invoke as $tendem-status [task_id] — omit the task_id to pick from recent tasks.

Check the status of a Tendem task and take the next correct step.

  • If a task_id accompanies this invocation, use it. Otherwise call list_tasks and either use the obvious in-flight task or ask the user which one.
  • Call get_task(task_id, wait_for_change_seconds=30) and act on the returned next_action (per the tendem-tasks skill):
    • awaiting_tendem_work → it's still working. Report where it stands and do NOT sit re-polling. The task lives on Tendem's side, nothing is lost between sessions — the user can simply ask again later ("how's the Tendem task doing?" or $tendem-status), and the plugin's notification hook pings them the moment the task needs them.
    • await_input → read the new chat and answer via send_message (or escalate).
    • await_user_approval → call get_contract(task_id) for the full scope + price, surface both; approve only with the user's go-ahead.
    • await_user_topup → give the user the topup_url.
    • fetch_result → follow the tendem-result skill (or call get_task_result).
    • done → nothing left; summarize the outcome.

Summarize where the task stands and what happens next in plain language.
