`run_task` with timeout

[wistuba]

Hey, I am exposing bash to the LLM and in some cases it manages to cook up something that runs forever. Is there a way to let run_task time out? Right now, I'll add manually timeout XX in front of each command but this surfaces when the command is incorrect and crashes.

Hey! Currently, there's no way to set a timeout for tasks but that's a great feature request, so I'll add this in our backlog.

Do you think about it as some kind of a global timeout for all tasks submitted or a task-specific timeout set by an agent as part of the call (i.e. another parameter in run_task)? Or maybe both?

[wistuba]

I was thinking of latter where a timeout parameter for run_task would be sufficient.

Great feature request. We've done some work today and things are looking good. We just need to check that resources are released correctly on timeout. Are there any other endpoint where you think timeouts from the client side would be good?

SDK implementation hide-org/hide-sdk#26
Server #155

Thanks for your efforts! I can't think of any additional time outs right now.

[aleh-null]

We've merged both PRs. Please take a look.

Thanks a lot, it seems to work! It seems that on timeout the output streams are not accessible. Is this something that could be changed?

[artmoskvin]

@wistuba do you mean they are empty?

[wistuba]

I receive exit code 124, but otherwise the output streams seem empty. I had a relatively short timeout when testing, maybe the stream wasn't flushed? I can check again

[wistuba]

Sorry for the late response. I can confirm that the output is available (given it was flushed already)
