Never Use TaskOutput

TaskOutput floods the main context window with agent transcripts (70k+ tokens).

Rule

NEVER use 

TaskOutput
tool. Use 
Task
tool with synchronous mode instead.

Why

  • TaskOutput reads full agent transcript into context
  • This causes mid-conversation compaction
  • Defeats the purpose of agent context isolation

Pattern

# WRONG - floods context
Task(run_in_background=true)
TaskOutput(task_id="...")  // 70k tokens dumped

# RIGHT - isolated context, returns summary
Task(run_in_background=false)  // Agent runs, returns summary

Source

  • Session where TaskOutput caused context overflow
