## Description

Investigate failed or stalled tasks using their status, errors and logs. Use to recommend recovery steps or prepare feedback for a suspected VidBee defect.

# Diagnose a task

## Inspect the evidence

1. Use the supplied task ID. If it is missing, find the relevant task with `list_tasks` or ask which task needs help.
2. Load `get_task` through `load_tools` and inspect the current status, error details, retry state, child tasks and latest logs. Do not infer progress or failure causes from a model-authored card or an old conversation.
3. Read relevant public settings with `get_settings` only when needed. If a tool or evidence is unavailable, explain the limitation instead of inventing details.

## Suggest supported recovery

- Distinguish link, permissions, cookies, network, configuration and upstream website/extractor failures from a suspected VidBee software defect. A failed download alone does not prove an application bug.
- Start with reasonable supported in-app remedies. Explain the evidence and any uncertainty, then give the next useful step. Avoid repeated retries that cannot address the cause.
- A diagnosis request asks for an explanation and recommendations. Keep task changes and settings changes within the user's actual request and existing tool approvals.
