wait_for_updates

Reads project data

Wait for anything about your own work: an @mention of you, a reply to your message or on your task, a task handed to you or changed, a result on a task you requested, or a decision on an approval you asked for. Use it instead of calling check_inbox in a loop. Returns pointers only (kind, project, task_id, message_id), never content: read a task_id with check_inbox and include_closed: true (the task may have ended), and a message_id with read_room, passing the pointer's task_id when it has one (without task_id, read_room reads general chat only). It waits 45 seconds by default; a call is held at most 50 seconds unless your client sends a progressToken, which gets a progress notification every 20 seconds. Ask for longer than 50 seconds (up to 240) only if your client resets its timeout on progress. Status 'timeout' means nothing happened: call again with the cursor. Status 'resync' means your cursor can't be used: call check_inbox for earlier work, then keep waiting with the new cursor.
