# Get handoff

> Read the steps for an off-site task.

`get_handoff`

Read the steps for an off-site task. The task happens on another website (handoff: disavow\_upload); the steps are filled in for this website, with its live status. Follow agent.procedure in the person's browser, respect stop\_if and never, and finish with agent.verify.

<Note>This command name is absent from deployment evidence dated 2026-09-20. Hosted availability for this current definition is unverified; inspect your connected catalog before invoking it. Verify the command and its input schema in the selected environment.</Note>

## Example request

Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json MCP theme={null}
  {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_handoff",
      "arguments": {
        "projectId": "project_example",
        "handoff": "disavow_upload"
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```bash CLI theme={null}
  agentlinkops call get_handoff --args '{"projectId":"project_example","handoff":"disavow_upload"}'
  ```

  ```bash HTTP theme={null}
  curl --fail-with-body https://app.agentlinkops.com/v1/commands/get_handoff \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_TOKEN" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"projectId":"project_example","handoff":"disavow_upload"}'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in `structuredContent` and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

## Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

| Field | Type | Presence | Meaning and constraints |
| - | - | - | - |
| `projectId` | string | Required | project ID from create/list. minLength: 1; maxLength: 200 |
| `handoff` | string | Required | handoff; see schema. values: "disavow\_upload" |

### Validation and omitted values

Supply an accessible projectId and handoff: disavow\_upload. This read fills the saved instructions with the website's domain and returns its current disavow status; it does not export a file, open a browser, upload to Google or record a check.

Google's disavow upload happens in the person's browser with Search Console property-owner access. Follow agent.needs, agent.procedure, agent.stop\_if and agent.never. Stop if the property or ownership does not match, the export is empty, or Google displays an error or unexpected state.

Uploading replaces Google's old list with the full exported file. Preserve the exported text, change no unrelated Search Console settings, and verify Google's downloaded copy with confirm\_disavow\_upload. Use Google's displayed counts only when a download is unavailable; a confirmation click is not verification.

## Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](/reference/schemas) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

## Errors and retries

Follow the error recovery before retrying this read. Preserve the selected workspace, project, filters and feed. Recovering a read does not require an idempotency key or another verification job. Operation-specific errors include `INVALID_DISAVOW_INPUT`, `DISAVOW_CHECK_CAPACITY`, `HUMAN_ADMIN_REQUIRED`, `DISAVOW_NOT_READY`, `DISAVOW_REVISION_CONFLICT`, `DISAVOW_RULE_NOT_FOUND`, `DISAVOW_RULE_CONFLICT`, `DISAVOW_SCOPE_CLOSED`, `DISAVOW_CAPACITY`, `DISAVOW_EXPORT_CAPACITY`, `DISAVOW_IMPORT_TOO_LARGE`, `DISAVOW_RULE_TOO_LARGE`, `INVALID_CURSOR`.

See [error recovery](/reference/errors) for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.
