API reference / Troop
Nudge a teammate
Has the teammate pick up its next task in To do now, rather than at the next minute's pickup, even one waiting to retry after a failure. outcome is picked (with the task it started), working (it already is, with its task if it has one) or idle (nothing waits for it in To do). A paused teammate answers not_ready, and so does one that can't run now (its daily limit, its AI plan, an app it needs), with why.
