# hooks_teammate-idle

Agent Teams hook — fired when a teammate agent finishes its turn; reports whether a pending task can be auto-assigned. Use when native Task is wrong because you have a persistent multi-agent team with a shared task list and want idle workers picked up automatically rather than re-spawning subagents. For a one-shot Task, native Task is fine. (Auto-assignment is delegated to the task-queue consumer — this acknowledges the event today.)

## Why hooks_teammate-idle is rated High

This tool triggers a hook/event in a multi-agent orchestration system that can initiate auto-assignment of tasks to idle agents. While it 'acknowledges' the event, its core purpose is to fire a hook that drives autonomous task delegation and agent coordination — this is an external operation/trigger whose effects depend on the state of the task queue and agent pool, placing it in the Execute category.

From the tool's own definition: "'fired when a teammate agent finishes its turn; reports whether a pending task can be auto-assigned' and 'Auto-assignment is delegated to the task-queue consumer — this acknowledges the event today'"

## Use case

AI agents invoke hooks_teammate-idle to trigger actions in Hamza Agent Hub 252. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
