Provider Callbacks

Provider callbacks return asynchronous results from external services into the operation timeline.

How To Use This Page

  • Use callback events to know when external work completed or failed.
  • Verify output artifacts or blobs after a callback.
  • Treat late or duplicate callback behavior as an operations issue that needs timeline review.

Status And Event Map

Operation statuses: queued, running, waiting, blocked, completed, failed, canceled.

StatusWhat It MeansUser Review
queuedWork has been accepted but has not started.Wait for the timeline to move or check queue health.
runningA bot, tool, provider, or container is actively working.Review progress events before retrying.
waitingThe operation is waiting on a callback, schedule, user action, or follow-up turn.Check what dependency is named in the timeline.
blockedWork intentionally stopped until a person or external condition changes.Read the blocking reason before taking action.
completedWork reached a successful terminal state.Inspect produced artifacts, blobs, links, or messages.
failedWork reached an error terminal state.Capture the failing step, visible error, and affected refs.
canceledWork was stopped before completion.Confirm whether a replacement operation exists.

Review Checklist

  • Start from the operation or artifact visible in the app.
  • Follow events in timestamp order.
  • Open produced artifacts or blobs before sharing conclusions.
  • Capture status, route, artifact, operation, and visible error details when escalating.
