next_step

Add, list, update or complete DB-backed next steps for a project.

Use this exact Agent Zero tool-call shape:

{"tool_name":"next_step","tool_args":{"action":"list","project_name":"my_project"}}

Actions:

• list (default): List pending next steps
• add: Add a new next step (requires next_step text)
• update: Update an existing step (requires step_id and next_step)
• complete: Mark a step as complete (requires step_id)

Example (add):

{"tool_name":"next_step","tool_args":{"action":"add","project_name":"my_project","next_step":"Implement authentication module"}}

Rules:

• Do not use this tool to discover, read, infer, validate, or print credential values.
• If the tool is not found, stop and report a runtime tool-registration failure. Do not switch to WebUI login, CSRF, HTTP cache-refresh, shell credential scans, or .env/config/log searches.
