Poll At Interval FAQs

Question 1

How do I specify which field to check in the response?

Accepted Answer

You use the condition_field parameter with a JSON path, such as 'status' or 'codeReview.status', to tell the skill exactly where to look for the completion signal.

Question 2

Does polling count against my Claude Code tool call limits?

Accepted Answer

Within the agent-swarm framework, this skill is whitelisted in the enforcement logic to allow controlled repetition specifically for polling patterns, bypassing the standard 6-call limit.

Question 3

What happens if the expected condition is never met?

Accepted Answer

The skill will continue to poll until the max_iterations limit is reached (default is 20). If the condition isn't met by then, it returns the final result with a success: false status.

Question 4

Can I use this skill with any MCP tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is designed to work with any MCP tool that returns a JSON response, allowing you to specify a condition field and an expected value to watch for.

Question 5

What is the main benefit of using the Poll At Interval skill?

Accepted Answer

It allows Claude to wait for asynchronous tasks to complete automatically, preventing the need for manual status checks and avoiding rate limit blocks from repeated tool calls.
