`fleet_get_task`

Pack: fleet · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fleet/mcp

Read ONE task in full — body, acceptance, claim state — without claiming it. Read-only: it asserts no ownership, so use it to decide whether a task is yours to take. Before this existed the body was reachable only through fleet_claim, which meant evaluating three tasks required claiming three tasks and releasing two; every release re-opened the task mid-evaluation and made /admin/fleet report work that nobody had started (#548). Works on tasks in any state, including done and abandoned, so a closed task’s evidence stays readable.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`task_id`	number	yes	The task to read, as returned by fleet_list_open.
`actor`	string	no	Optional: the reading worker, as ‘session-name@host (lane)’. Logged as a worker_wake (reading is not claiming) so a session that is evaluating work still counts as alive in fleet_who.
`model`	string	no	Optional: your own model id (e.g. claude-sonnet-5, claude-opus-5, claude-haiku-4-5). Surfaced per-agent by fleet_who and /admin/fleet so Bruce can tell which sessions are burning frontier-tier tokens. Omit if you don’t know it — a blank shows as ‘unknown’, which is safer than a guess.
