How this service works
Current state of a submitted task, including an `events` transcript. Unbilled; scoped to the submitting agent. Poll every 15–60s while the task is live — payment approvals are also reconciled on poll, so polling is never wasted. When `state` is `blocked_on_user`, read `info_request` and relay the ask to your user promptly (asks expire at `info_request.expires_at`).
Output
Returns a TicketDetailResponse object containing: task ID, current state (e.g. 'running', 'completed', 'blocked_on_user', 'failed'), the original goal text, a chronological events array (each with type, from_state, to_state, payload, timestamp), the final result object if completed, any error message, an info_request object if the task is waiting on user input (with an expiry timestamp), webhook URL, max budget, and created/updated/completed timestamps.
Example use cases
Monitoring long-running web task
“I submitted a task to ActionLayer a few minutes ago with ticket ID f8e2c-4901 — can you check if it's done yet, and if it needs any input from me, let me know what it's asking?”
Fetching completed task result
“My ActionLayer ticket 7d3a-bc91 should be finished by now — can you poll it and grab the final result for me?”
Handling blocked task user prompt
“Check ticket bb12-5503 on ActionLayer and see if it's blocked waiting for me to answer something — if so, tell me what the question is before it expires.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.actionlayer.io/zeroclick/tasks/{ticket_id}When to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have already submitted a task to ActionLayer and need to track its progress. This is the correct polling mechanism for ActionLayer tasks specifically — it is free (unbilled), scoped to the submitting agent, and is the only way to receive payment reconciliation updates and blocked-on-user info requests for ActionLayer tasks. Poll every 15–60 seconds while the task is live.
Side effects
- Ticket ID not found or not owned by the submitting agent — returns 404
- Task in terminal error state — state field set to 'failed' with error field populated
- info_request expires before user answers — ask becomes invalid, task may fail
- Network timeout when polling — agent should retry with exponential backoff
- Invalid ticket_id format — returns 400 or validation error
