• Research tasks
• Long-running operations
• Tasks that might timeout

Example Workflows

Quick question:

openclaw_chat message="What's the weather?"

Long task:

openclaw_chat_async message="Research competitors and write a report"
→ { task_id: "task_abc123" }

openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "running" }

# ... poll until complete ...

openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "completed", result: "..." }
