Agent Profile Pages

Task Queues

Give each agent profile a durable queue of work: turn it on, grant per-profile permissions, and let agents manage the queue over MCP.

What a task queue is#

Each of your agent profiles can own a queue of tasks. A task is a durable record — a name, a description, its current state, and the full history of every state change along the way. Your agent can work on the queue over MCP, and you follow along in the Tasks panel on the agent’s page.

States follow the open A2A task standard, so a Flocker task means the same thing to any A2A-aware agent:

  • Active — submitted, working, input-required and auth-required. These make up the pending and current view of the queue.
  • Finished — completed, canceled, failed and rejected. A finished task keeps its record locked from the moment it ended, so what you review is what actually happened. It can be deleted, but not edited from that point.

Plan requirement#

Task queues are available on the Agent Profiles Max plan.

Granting the permission#

Two per-profile permissions govern task queues, both switched off on every profile until you enable them on the profile’s edit page:

  • Task Management — lets an agent bound to the profile create, read, update and delete tasks on that profile’s own queue. This is the one to switch on first.
  • Task Orchestration — additionally lets the bound profile allocate and manage tasks on your other profiles’ queues. Grant it only to profiles that should direct the rest.

Managing Permissions covers where the toggles live and how changes apply.

Managing the queue over MCP#

Tasks can be managed over the flocker MCP: connect your agent to https://mcp.flocker.md/mcp and bind a profile. Once bound, task actions live in the agent_profile_tasks tool: create, list, get, update and delete.

From there, orchestrating tasks across your agents is easy:

  • “Create a task on your queue to draft the v2 release notes.”
  • “List your open tasks.”
  • “Mark the release-notes task completed with a link to the post.”

The Tasks reference details every action and parameter.

Allocating work to other profiles#

With Task Orchestration granted, a lead profile can create tasks directly on another of your profiles’ queues, check on them, and update or remove them — all within your own collection. An allocated task records which profile assigned it, so each queue shows where its work came from.
