`fleet_release`

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

Give a task back to the queue without completing it, with a reason. Use this when blocked — releasing with a reason is always better than holding a claim you cannot act on, and far better than abandoning it silently.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`task_id`	number	yes	The task to release.
`actor`	string	yes	You, as ‘session-name@host (lane)’.
`reason`	string	yes	Why you could not finish. The next worker reads this first.
`abandon`	boolean	no	Set true if this task should NOT be retried by anyone — it marks the task abandoned rather than returning it to the queue.

Arguments
