Cancel Task

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This skill is purpose-aligned for cancelling an OpenAnt task, but it performs an irreversible authenticated account action and uses an unpinned CLI package, so users should confirm details carefully.

Install only if you intend to let the agent help cancel OpenAnt tasks from your authenticated account. Before confirming, check the task ID, title, status, reward, and assignee, because cancellation is irreversible.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If used on the wrong task, the task could be removed and an assigned worker could be affected.

Why it was flagged

The skill invokes a high-impact command that cancels a marketplace task, but it explicitly requires confirmation before doing so.

Skill content
Cancellation is **irreversible** — always confirm with the user before running `tasks cancel`
Recommendation

Before approving cancellation, verify the task title, status, reward amount, and whether anyone is assigned.

What this means

Commands run as the currently authenticated OpenAnt user and can affect tasks owned by that account.

Why it was flagged

The command acts through the authenticated OpenAnt creator account, which is expected for this purpose but still uses delegated account authority.

Skill content
Only the **task creator** can cancel.
Recommendation

Confirm you are logged into the intended OpenAnt account before cancelling.

What this means

Behavior depends on the currently published CLI package version.

Why it was flagged

The skill runs the OpenAnt CLI through `npx` using the `@latest` tag, so the package version executed at runtime is not pinned.

Skill content
Bash(npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks cancel *)
Recommendation

Use only if you trust the OpenAnt CLI package; pinning a reviewed CLI version would reduce supply-chain ambiguity.
