tendem-task

tendem-task is a skill for Codex from Toloka/tendem-mcp. It costs 44 tokens per session (457 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for explicitly submitting a new task to Tendem, a service that combines AI work with human experts, and guiding it through the initial definition of the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to create and scope a Tendem task, including requests that refer to local files or require a later human decision.
Why use it?
It sends the user's request faithfully and lets Tendem handle clarification and scoping instead of expanding the request with assumptions.

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

tendem-task scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Submit a new Tendem task from the user's instruction — the text accompanying this invocation.

Follow the tendem-tasks skill. Fidelity first:

  1. Call create_task nowdescription is the user's instruction, passed as faithfully as possible. Add only context the user actually stated (input files by name, a deadline if one was given). Do NOT expand it into a synthesized brief, and do NOT pre-ask the user clarifying questions — scoping is Tendem's job. Derive a short name (≤120 chars) and reuse a stable conversation_id for this conversation.
  2. If the instruction references local files: ⚠️ do not upload them yourself — OpenAI's security policies block the sandbox from PUTting files to external storage (an OpenAI platform restriction, not a Tendem one). Immediately after creating the task, call get_file_upload_url, build fully-substituted curl upload commands per the tendem-tasks skill's references/files.md, and hand them to the user to run on their host machine — telling them the manual step is due to OpenAI's sandbox policy. After the user confirms, send the naming send_message.
  3. Scoping loop: poll with get_task(task_id, wait_for_change_seconds=30), answer Tendem's questions from conversation context via send_message, escalate to the user only when the answer isn't in context or scope/deliverables/deadline are at stake.
  4. Stop when the quote is ready (next_action=await_user_approval): call get_contract(task_id) for the full scope + price, show the user both, and wait for their explicit go-ahead before approve_task.

Report the task_id in your reply so it can be referenced later.

Changes

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.
