Official documentation
Two agent paths. One product authority.
Use Task Handoff for one claimed task. Use the MCP Workspace Workflow for ongoing access to the Wagglet records and actions already authorized for one person in one Team.

Start with the job you are handing over
The two workflows use different credentials, boundaries, and lifecycles. A convenient setup must not blur them.

The shortest comparison
A copied task is not workspace access
Both paths preserve Wagglet's current product permissions. They differ in where the boundary starts.
- Task Handoff
- Rooted in one current claim. A read-only capability covers that task and, when linked, permitted current Story context. It ends with the claim and expires after at most seven days.
- MCP Workspace Workflow
- Rooted in one named MCP Connection for one person and one Team. It has no automatic expiry, but Team access, membership, roles, permissions, and revocation are checked again on every request.
- Task Handoff delivery
- The starting read credential cannot deliver. The runner later copies a separate, one-time delivery prompt into the same agent session.
- MCP mutations
- Explicit Wagglet actions use current revisions and a fresh operation id. There is no generic status override and no database-shaped interface.

Before real work
Match the task, person, and provider policy
Wagglet moves prepared work. It does not make an unauthorized task, unqualified reviewer, or prohibited provider use acceptable.
Start with a small synthetic or low-risk task. Confirm that the runner may access the repository and data, knows what to inspect, and uses their own authenticated agent. Keep secrets out of task text. Use Human-only work when an agent should not receive the task.
