Commands for managing Action Center tasks, catalogs, comments, labels, metadata, and task data using the `uip tasks` tool.
uip tasks manages Action Center tasks — the human-in-the-loop work items (form fills, approvals, document validation/classification, data labeling) that RPA processes and agents create for a person to complete. The tool lets you list and inspect tasks, assign or reassign them, complete them with an action and data payload, and manage the auxiliary resources attached to a task: catalogs (grouping/retention config), comments, labels (tags), metadata (title/priority/catalog link), and the task's own form/business data. tasks is the command prefix; the underlying package is @uipath/tasks-tool.
Folder scoping — every verb that operates on a specific task or catalog accepts --folder-id <id>, --folder-path <path>, or --folder-key <key> (mutually exclusive; enforced at parse time via Commander conflicts). When none is passed on an interactive terminal, the CLI shows a folder picker; in a non-interactive run (CI, coding agents) it fails fast asking for one. uip tasks list and uip tasks get are the two exceptions — a folder is optional there and simply narrows the results/lookup when given.
Task type — several verbs (get --task-type, complete --type) take one of FormTask, ExternalTask, AppTask, DocumentValidationTask, DocumentClassificationTask, DataLabelingTask, QuickFormTask. An unrecognized value fails client-side with the full list named in the error.
Pagination — list-style verbs (list, catalogs list, comments list, users) page internally with a 100-item page size and follow nextCursor until exhausted or --limit is reached, returning one flat array either way — there's no cursor flag to manage yourself.
Catalogs are optional grouping/retention config for tasks — metadata --catalog-id links a task to one; catalogs create/update's retention fields (--retention-action, --retention-period, --retention-bucket-id) control what happens to catalog data over time. --encrypted on catalogs create is immutable — there's no way to change it via catalogs update.

オプション
長押し 値 (Value) 説明 --title <title>string New title. --priority <priority>Low | Medium | High | CriticalNew priority. An out-of-set value fails client-side, naming the valid set. --catalog-id <id>integer Associate a task catalog.
