Tools Details

Tool: complete_user_task

Complete a user task in the Camunda process engine. The task is identified by its unique task id.

ParametersTypeDescription
taskIdstringThe unique task id of the user task to complete.

Tool: count_incidents

Count incidents for a specific BPMN process instance in the Camunda process engine. The process is identified by its process instance id or the business key.

ParametersTypeDescription
processInstanceIdOrBusinessKeystringThe unique process instance id or business key of the BPMN process.

Tool: count_instances

Count active instances for a specific BPMN process definition in the Camunda process engine. The process is identified by its key. The response includes information about the number of active instances associated with the process definition.

ParametersTypeDescription
processKeystringThe unique key of the BPMN process definition.

Tool: count_user_tasks

Count user tasks for a specific BPMN process instance in the Camunda process engine. The process is identified by its process instance id or the business key.

ParametersTypeDescription
processInstanceIdOrBusinessKeystringThe unique process instance id or business key of the BPMN process.

Tool: count_variables

Count variables for a specific BPMN process in the Camunda process engine. The process is identified by its process instance id or the business key. The response information about the number of variables associated with the process instance.

ParametersTypeDescription
processInstanceIdOrBusinessKeystringThe unique process instance if of the BPMN process definition. Business key may belong to multiple processes.

Tool: list_definitions

Retrieve all BPMN process definitions available in the Camunda BPM process engine. The response includes details such as tenant, version, deployment ID, and other metadata for each process definition. Allows narrowing down results by providing parts of the process key or name, and limiting the number of results returned.

ParametersTypeDescription
camundaAddressstringOptional, the address of the Camunda process engine. If not provided, the default address will be used.
maxResultsstringOptional, max results to fetch provided as integer.
processKeyLikestringOptional, part of the BPMN process definiton unique key.
processNameLikestringOptional, part of the BPMN process definition name in human readable form.

Tool: list_incidents

List incidents for a specific BPMN process instance in the Camunda process engine. The process is identified by its process instance id or the business key.

ParametersTypeDescription
maxResultsstringOptional, max results to fetch provided as integer.
processInstanceIdOrBusinessKeystringThe unique process instance id or business key of the BPMN process.

Tool: list_instances

Retrieve the list of active instances for a specific BPMN process definition in the Camunda process engine. The process is identified by its key. The response includes details such as tenant, key, business key, process instance id, and other metadata for each process instance.

ParametersTypeDescription
maxResultsstringOptional, max results to fetch provided as integer.
processKeystringThe unique key of the BPMN process definition.
