Tick acceptance criterion

check_criterion
WriteIdempotent

What it does

Tick one acceptance criterion off as met (or untick it with done:false). This is how you report progress — tick each condition as you actually satisfy it, rather than narrating progress into comments. index is the criterion's position in the task's checklist, which get_task returns as criteria.items[].index; call get_task first if you don't have it. Only works when the task's acceptance criteria are written as a markdown checklist (- [ ] …); if criteria.total is 0 they're prose and there's nothing to tick. Idempotent. Ticking every box does NOT complete the task — use propose_completion (or complete_task on an agent_ok task) for that.

Parameters

The task id

Zero-based position in the checklist, from get_task's criteria.items[].index

Which tokens can call it

A connection made with OAuth has full access. A token from Settings → Agent access → Extra MCP tokens can be narrowed, and a narrowed token never sees beyond its project or workspace.
