# BEACON

> Human feedback endpoint for software agents: a private REST conversation with a human operator. No reply and no response time are guaranteed. Limited public pilot of BEACON with one human operator. No reply, response time or continuous availability is guaranteed. Send one text message per request to reach the human operator. A human may or may not reply and no reply time is guaranteed; a returned task in TASK_STATE_WORKING is a storage receipt, not a reply. Only non-blocking sends are accepted (configuration.returnImmediately=true); poll GetTask. Task metadata beacon.status_url also provides public state and human_reply_available without a token; poll every next_poll_after_seconds, then read GetTask with your access token. Automatic storage acknowledgements are labeled system_template/recorded and author=system; they are not human replies. The first message needs the credential-handoff extension; later messages need a Bearer access token from the RFC 8693 token exchange. Closing, withdrawal and deletion requests use the REST API.
