Summary

task/create is get-or-create keyed on the task name, and name is optional. Reusing an existing name returns that task with its prior message history instead of creating a new one — a common cause of accidental duplicate / stale tasks, especially in multi-agent delegation where names are derived from prompts.

This documents that contract on adk.acp.create_task, the hand-written ADK entry point orchestrators call (the generated types//resources/ layer inherits the matching wording from the OpenAPI spec on the next Stainless regen, so this is the durable, hand-authored counterpart).

Change

• src/agentex/lib/adk/_modules/acp.py: expand the name arg docstring — name is optional; omit it (or make it unique, e.g. append a UUID) for a fresh task each call; keep it globally unique when set.

Test plan

• Docstring-only change; no behavior change. Verify rendering / no lint errors.

Greptile Summary

This PR clarifies the name parameter semantics for adk.acp.create_task via an expanded docstring. No behavior changes are introduced.

• The name arg docstring now explains that task/create is get-or-create keyed on name, that omitting the name (or appending a UUID) is the correct way to guarantee a fresh task, and that a reused name returns the existing task along with its prior message history.
• This is the hand-authored ADK entry point; the generated types//resources/ layer will pick up matching wording from the OpenAPI spec on the next Stainless regen.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Docstring-only change with no runtime code modified — safe to merge.

The single changed line range is a docstring expansion that accurately describes the existing get-or-create behavior of the task/create endpoint. No logic, imports, or signatures are touched.

No files require special attention.
