Cancel Background Job

Cancel a running or pending background job: $ARGUMENTS

Steps

1. Parse the job ID from $ARGUMENTS (required)

   • If no job ID provided, show error and suggest using /bluera-knowledge:check-status to list active jobs

2. Use mcp__bluera-knowledge__execute tool with command "job:cancel":

   • args.jobId: The job ID from $ARGUMENTS

3. Display cancellation result:

✓ Job job_abc123def456 cancelled
  Type: clone
  Progress: 45% (was indexing)

The job has been stopped and will not continue.

When to Cancel

Cancel a job when:

• You accidentally started indexing the wrong repository
• The operation is taking too long and you want to try a different approach
• You need to free up system resources
• You want to stop an operation before it completes

Important Notes

• Only jobs in 'pending' or 'running' status can be cancelled
• Completed or failed jobs cannot be cancelled
• Cancelled jobs are marked with status 'cancelled' and remain in the job list
• Partial work may be saved (e.g., partially indexed files remain in the database)

Error Handling

If job cannot be cancelled:

✗ Cannot cancel job job_abc123def456: Job has already completed

Only pending or running jobs can be cancelled.

If job not found:

✗ Job not found: job_abc123def456

Common issues:
- Check the job ID is correct
- Use /bluera-knowledge:check-status to see all active jobs
- Job may have already completed and been cleaned up
