Automation Tasks\n\nBusiness workflows that run on a schedule.\n\n- Renewal risk scoring\n- Customer health recalculation\n- Opportunity pipeline refresh\n- Weekly executive summaries\n- SLA compliance checks\n- Invoice reconciliation\n- License utilization reports\n\n---\n\n## 2. Watch Tasks\n\nRun only when something changes.\n\n```text\nWatch GitHub releases\nWatch Salesforce schema changes\nWatch HubSpot property changes\nWatch Cloudflare deployments\nWatch production incidents\nWatch documentation updates\n```\n\nThese are condition-based rather than purely time-based.\n\n---\n\n## 3. Memory Tasks\n\nMaintain the Adaptive Spine.\n\n- Memory compaction\n- Duplicate detection\n- Entity merging\n- Timeline rebuilding\n- Embedding regeneration\n- Knowledge graph updates\n- Continuity validation\n\n---\n\n## 4. AI Tasks\n\nBackground intelligence.\n\n- Overnight account summaries\n- Ticket clustering\n- Meeting summarization\n- Opportunity forecasting\n- Churn prediction\n- Next-best-action generation\n- Knowledge synthesis\n\n---\n\n## 5. Integration Tasks\n\nConnector operations.\n\n- Full sync\n- Incremental sync\n- Webhook verification\n- OAuth validation\n- Connector health checks\n- Schema discovery\n- Rate-limit monitoring\n\n---\n\n## 6. Infrastructure Tasks\n\nPlatform maintenance.\n\n- Worker health\n- Queue depth monitoring\n- Cache warming\n- Database optimization\n- Secret rotation checks\n- Backup verification\n- Storage cleanup\n\n---\n\n## 7. Governance Tasks\n\nCompliance and policy.\n\n- Approval reminders\n- Policy drift detection\n- Permission audits\n- Access reviews\n- Audit report generation\n- Compliance validation\n\n---\n\n## 8. Security Tasks\n\nContinuous security monitoring.\n\n- Token expiration checks\n- Secret exposure detection\n- Failed login analysis\n- API key validation\n- Certificate expiration\n- Suspicious activity detection\n\n---\n\n## 9. Workspace Tasks\n\nPer-workbench automation.\n\n- Refresh dashboards\n- Update KPIs\n- Refresh timelines\n- Compute priorities\n- Assign work\n- Generate daily briefings\n\n---\n\n## 10. Agent Tasks\n\nHermes self-management.\n\n- Evaluate completed plans\n- Retry failed executions\n- Clean execution history\n- Optimize workflows\n- Update capability cache\n- Learn from execution outcomes\n\n---\n\n## 11. Marketplace Tasks\n\nConnector ecosystem.\n\n- Discover new connector versions\n- Validate installed connectors\n- Update connector metadata\n- Check marketplace health\n\n---\n\n## 12. Observability Tasks\n\nOperational telemetry.\n\n- Aggregate metrics\n- Trace analysis\n- Error clustering\n- Latency analysis\n- Cost reporting\n- Capacity forecasting\n\n---\n\n# Long-term Task Management MCP\n\nI would add another internal service to the platform:\n\n```text\nHermes\n    │\n    ▼\nTask Management MCP\n    │\n    ├── Scheduler\n    ├── Event Watches\n    ├── Workflow Engine\n    ├── Retry Manager\n    ├── Notifications\n    ├── History\n    ├── Dead Letter Queue\n    └── Metrics\n```\n\nCore capabilities:\n\n```text\ntasks.create\ntasks.schedule\ntasks.watch\ntasks.run\ntasks.pause\ntasks.resume\ntasks.cancel\ntasks.retry\ntasks.history\ntasks.logs\ntasks.metrics\n```\n\n## Two execution models\n\nRather than relying only on cron, support both:\n\n1. **Time-based**\n   - Every hour\n   - Every day\n   - Every Monday\n   - First day of the month\n\n2. **Event-based**\n   - GitHub push received\n   - Salesforce opportunity updated\n   - Slack message posted\n   - New customer onboarded\n   - OAuth connection revoked\n   - Cloudflare deployment completed\n\nThis lets Hermes respond to real operational events while still handling recurring maintenance, giving you a unified execution model for automation across the platform.\n"}
