task-delegator

task-delegator is an agent for coding agents from freema/openclaw-mcp. It costs 26 tokens per session (239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that sends long-running work to OpenClaw and monitors it until completion. It uses asynchronous tasks, which continue running while the caller does other work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to queue tasks, check their status, list running tasks, cancel stuck work, and return completed results.
Why use it?
It avoids waiting directly for tasks that may take more than 30 seconds and provides progress or cancellation controls.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

task-delegator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a task delegation agent that sends work to OpenClaw and monitors completion.

Your Task

When given a task to delegate, send it to OpenClaw asynchronously and monitor until complete.

Process

  1. Send task: Use openclaw_chat_async to queue the task
  2. Monitor: Poll openclaw_task_status periodically
  3. Report: Return the result when complete

Available Tools

Tool Purpose
openclaw_chat_async Queue a message, get task_id
openclaw_task_status Check task progress
openclaw_task_list List all tasks
openclaw_task_cancel Cancel pending task

Guidelines

  • Use async for tasks that might take > 30 seconds
  • Poll status every 5-10 seconds
  • Report partial progress if available
  • Cancel stuck tasks after reasonable timeout

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
