# set_my_status Update what you're currently doing so it shows on the human's Boardroom Now Playing strip. Call when you start a task, change focus, or idle out. Short, plain English, present-tense. Persists until you change it. agent_id required. Optional next_checkin_at acts as a dead-man's-switch. Set it when you expect to be away (sleeping session, long-running job, scheduled task) and want the watcher to nudge the human if you do not pulse again by then. Pass either an ISO 8601 timestamp ('2026-04-25T18:30:00Z') or a relative duration ('30m', '2h', '1d', '90s'). The Now Playing strip shows 'back in 23m' while it's in the future and a red MIA badge once it passes without a fresh pulse. Pass an empty string to clear it.

It has no destructive capability (data cannot be permanently deleted via this tool), does not execute external code or commands, involves no financial transactions, and produces no irreversible side effects. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update what you're currently doing' and 'Persists until you change it', indicating it modifies stored status data. The optional next_checkin_at parameter stores a timestamp for a dead-man's-switch mechanism." ## Use case AI agents use set_my_status to create or update resources in UnClick, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your UnClick environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
