Validates the draft and publishes it as the next immutable revision. (— api-linter: core::0136::response-message-name=disabled aip.dev/not-precedent: publishing creates the revision it returns. —) FAILED_PRECONDITION names what is missing; publishing a draft identical to the newest revision is refused too.

account
required
string

The account id.

task
required
string

The task id.

Media type application/json

Request for Tasks.PublishTask.

object
name
required

Accounts/{account}/tasks/{task}

string
etag

The task’s etag as read; publishing refuses (ABORTED) a draft that changed since, so what was reviewed is what is published.

string
note

What changed, for the revision history. At most 1000 characters.

string
Example generated
{
"name": "example",
"etag": "example",
"note": "example"

OK

Media type application/json

A published, immutable task specification. Episodes judged and evals scored against a task cite one of these, so results stay comparable: a revision never changes once written.

object
name

Accounts/{account}/tasks/{task}/revisions/{revision}

string
revision

1, 2, 3, … in publishing order.

integer format: int32
displayName

The task’s display name when it was published.

string
spec

The specification, exactly as published.

object
description

What the robot should do, in ordinary language. Required to publish.

string
scene

The scene the task runs in: the workspace, the objects that matter, how things start and what varies between episodes.

string
steps

The steps of the task in order, one per line, e.g. “pick a box from the tray”.

string
success

How success shows: what has to be true, or seen happening, for an episode to succeed. Required to publish.

string
failure

How it fails: the ways the task goes wrong, and what looks like a failure but is fine.

string
procedure

The task as a state machine of steps and transitions, beside the prose. Optional; when it has steps, publishing checks that it is well formed.

object
steps

The steps. Step ids are the stable names judgments, subtask labels and progress report against. At most 64.

Array<object>

A state of the task: its start, an action, a recovery, or an outcome it ends in.

object
id
required

Stable within the procedure, e.g. “place_box”: given by the editor when the step is made and not changed after. 1 to 64 lowercase letters, digits or ’_’, starting with a letter. Unique within the procedure.

string
kind

What the step is.

string format: enum
Allowed values: KIND_UNSPECIFIED START ACTION SUCCESS FAILURE RECOVERY
description

The step in one line, as it observably holds: what an action or recovery gets done (e.g. “place the box upright on the shelf”), what an outcome looks like. At most 200 characters. Needed to publish, except on the start and on a step that stands for a task (task), which is named by the task.

string
task

An action that is a whole other task of the same account, accounts/{account}/tasks/{task}. In a draft it means that task’s newest published revision; publishing pins it, so a revision’s steps name accounts/{account}/tasks/{task}/revisions/{revision}. A task never contains itself, directly or through others. Such a step takes its name from the task and leaves description empty.

string
minCount

The fewest times an action (or recovery) happens in a successful attempt: 0 or more; 0 makes it optional, e.g. a step only some attempts need. With both counts unset the step is not counted: checks report how often it happened and never flag it. Checks enforce a count only when count_set names the person who set it.

integer format: int32
maxCount

The most times an action (or recovery) happens in a successful attempt, e.g. 4 box placements: 1 or more, and at least min_count. Unset is no limit. Exactly N is both N; up to N is max_count N alone.

integer format: int32
triggers

What observably sets a recovery off (“When”), e.g. “the box slips in the gripper”. Only a recovery has triggers, and it needs one to publish. At most 16, each 1 to 500 characters.

Array<string>
stateChecks

Conditions that observably hold at this step. At most 16; each needs text to publish and may also name a numeric condition. Not on START.

Array<object>

An observable condition at a procedure step, optionally expressed as a number.

object
text
required

What must hold, in 1 to 500 characters. Needed to publish.

string
numeric

A numeric form of the condition, when it can be measured. Only a person writes one: it publishes only with numeric_set.

object
metric
required

The metric name: 1 to 64 lowercase letters, digits, ’_’ or ’.’, starting with a letter.

string
op
required

The comparison: lt, le, gt, ge, eq or between.

string
value
required

The comparison value, or the lower value for between.

number format: double
valueHigh

The upper value, greater than value. Set if and only if op is between.

number format: double

Default error response

Media type application/json

The Status type defines a logical error model that is suitable for different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is used by gRPC. Each Status message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details. You can find out more about this error model and how to work with it in the API Design Guide.

object
code

The status code, which should be an enum value of [google.rpc.Code][google.rpc.Code].

integer format: int32
message

A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the [google.rpc.Status.details][google.rpc.Status.details] field, or localized by the client.

string
details

A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

Array<object>

Contains an arbitrary serialized message along with a @type that describes the type of the serialized message.

object
@type

The type of the serialized message.
