Submitting a Task
The Task > Submit operation is the primary way to interact with your servers. It runs a ManageLM skill on a target agent:
- Agent ID — the server to run the task on
- Skill — the skill slug (e.g.
base,packages,services,security) - Instruction — free-text description of what to do
- Wait for Completion — block until the task finishes (recommended for workflows)
ManageLM Trigger
Start a workflow when a ManageLM event occurs. The trigger automatically creates and manages a webhook in your ManageLM portal.
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
agent.enrolled |
A new agent requests to join |
agent.approved |
An agent was approved |
agent.online |
An agent came online |
agent.offline |
An agent went offline |
task.completed |
A task finished successfully |
task.failed |
A task failed |
Webhook payloads are verified using HMAC-SHA256 signatures.
