v2.1.6+Inline Scripting task parameters and output properties
Reference for the Inline Scripting task parameters that control script run, resource limits, and outbound HTTP policy, and for the output properties published to downstream tasks.
Input and output parameters
At runtime, the engine injects global objects into the script environment that carry input data and collect output values:
| Global | Language | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
inputs |
JavaScript, Python | Read-only | Object (JavaScript) or dict (Python) populated from the
Input parameters (JSON) field. Each
top-level JSON key is accessible as a property. For example,
inputs.threshold in JavaScript reads the
threshold key from the input JSON. |
outputs |
JavaScript, Python | Writable | Object (JavaScript) or dict (Python) for publishing named output
properties. Each key assigned to outputs is
published as result.key in the
task output property map. When any outputs key is
set, the last-statement value is ignored. |
When no outputs keys are set, the value of the last statement in
the script is wrapped under the key result and published as
result.result.
Action parameters
The following parameters control the behavior of the Inline Scripting task at the task level:
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Script | Yes | — | The script body to run. The inputs and
outputs globals are available at
runtime. |
| Input parameters (JSON) | No | Empty | A JSON object whose keys are exposed as the
inputs global inside the script. |
| Script timeout (seconds) | No | 60 | Maximum time in seconds the script is permitted to run. If the script does not complete within this limit, the task fails. Range: 1–600. |
| Memory limit (MB) | No | 256 | Maximum memory in megabytes the script runtime is permitted to use. If the script exceeds this limit, the task fails. Range: 64–1024. |
| Max console bytes | No | 1 MB | Maximum size of console output captured in the task log. Range: 1024–10485760. Output beyond this limit is truncated with a marker. The script run continues. |
| Fetch request timeout (seconds) | No | 30 | Per-request timeout in seconds for outbound HTTP(S) calls.
Applies to each individual fetch() (JavaScript) or
requests (Python) call. |
| Fail on console error | No | false | When set to true, any
console.error() call in the script marks the
task as failed. |
| Verbose runtime log | No | false | When set to true, additional runtime diagnostics
are written to the task log. Use this parameter when troubleshooting unexpected
behavior. |
Connection parameters
A connection defines the outbound HTTP(S) policy for all Inline Scripting tasks that reference it. The connection is optional. When no connection is configured and no agent-level policy is set, all outbound fetches are blocked by default.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fetch allowlist | No | Comma-separated list of host or domain patterns permitted for outbound HTTP(S) calls. When set, all hosts not on the list are denied. When neither this parameter nor Fetch denylist is set at the connection or agent level, all outbound fetches are blocked. |
| Fetch denylist | No | Comma-separated list of host or domain patterns that are always denied for outbound HTTP(S) calls, regardless of the allowlist. |
Output properties
When an Inline Scripting task completes successfully, the following output property is available to successor tasks in the workflow:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
result |
Object (map) | Root-level map of script output values. When the script assigns
keys to the outputs global, each key is published
as result.key (for example,
result.status). When no
outputs keys are set, the last-statement value
is published as result.result. |
Referencing output in successor tasks
Use the JSONata expression
jobs.PRED_TASK_NAME.outputprop
to reference an Inline Scripting task output
property from a successor task in the
same workflow. To
reference the output within the same task (for
example, in an output condition), use
$this().outputprop.
| Script assigns to | From a successor task | From an output condition (same task) |
|---|---|---|
outputs.status = 200 |
jobs.TASK_NAME.result.status |
$this().result.status |
Last-statement value (no outputs
assignment) |
jobs.TASK_NAME.result.result |
$this().result.result |
