task_orchestrate · Ruflo MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What task_orchestrate does on Ruflo

AI agents invoke task_orchestrate to trigger actions in Ruflo. 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.
