Tell Tycoon Agent, "Cancel TYC-42." Opening a Task carries its reference into Tycoon Agent, so you can also say "Cancel this Task." Tycoon Agent stops the parent Task and its active child execution where possible while preserving useful evidence and deliverables.
FAQ
Q: Can I restore a canceled task?
A: Ask Tycoon Agent to resume the same Task when that is safe. The canceled Task's explanation says whether re-running is safe, needs a change first, or left the outcome unknown. You can also archive and restore Tasks reversibly. Create a new Task only when the outcome is genuinely different or the canceled Task cannot be reopened safely.
Q: Why was my task canceled?
A: A canceled Task says who canceled it and why. If a person canceled it, the card says so. If the platform stopped it under a rule (for example, it could not be started after repeated attempts), the card explains that rule in plain language and says whether re-running is safe, needs a change first, or left the outcome unknown. When no reason was recorded, the card stays silent instead of guessing.
Q: Does cancellation delete assets?
A: No. Existing saved assets remain unless you delete them.
Q: What is the difference between stopping and canceling?
A: Stopping interrupts only the current turn of work. Canceling is a terminal action that ends the Task's responsibility.
See task lifecycle for where canceling sits among task states.
