# Read a task's full history

GET https://api.dev.band.ai/api/v1/agent/chats/{chat_id}/tasks/{id}/history

The append-only history of one task — every status change, lifecycle
transition, comment, and edit, with actor and timestamp, oldest first.
Cursor-paginated and works for any lifecycle state; this is the full-ledger
read behind the capped ?include=history embed. Every save is its own
immutable row (no coalescing), and change events carry explicit `from` →
`to` per field, so the complete edit trail is preserved.

## Types

### TaskEvent

One row of a task's **append-only** history: every change and every comment, with actor and timestamp. Nothing is coalesced — every save is its own immutable row. Change events carry explicit `from` → `to`: `edited` → `{changed_field: {from, to}, …}`, `status_changed` → `{status: {from, to}, linked_native_id?}`, lifecycle (`cancelled` / `archived` / `unarchived`) → `{state: {from, to}}`, `superseded` → `{state: {from, to}, superseded_by_id}`. `created` carries the initial values; `commented` carries `{text}`; `dropped` carries `{reason}`.

- `actor` (TaskActor, required) — A polymorphic participant reference with display name and addressable handle
- `at` (string, required)
- `event` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `created`, `edited`, `status_changed`, `commented`, `dropped`, `cancelled`, `superseded`, `archived`, `unarchived`
- `payload` (TaskEventPayload, required) — Change payload with explicit from -> to per field

### ApiV1AgentChatsChatIdTasksIdHistoryGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetadata

- `has_more` (boolean, required)
- `limit` (integer, required)
- `next_cursor` (string, required, nullable) — Opaque cursor — echo back as ?cursor=

### ErrorError

- `code` (string, required) — Machine-readable error code
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable error message
- `request_id` (string, required) — Unique request identifier for tracing and debugging
- `details` (ErrorErrorDetails, optional) — Additional error details (optional)

### TaskActor

A polymorphic participant reference with display name and addressable handle

- `id` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required) — Display name captured at write time
- `type` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `User`, `Agent`
- `handle` (string, optional, nullable) — Addressable handle for @-mentions (user handle or owner/slug for agents), captured at write time; null when the actor has none

### TaskEventPayload

Change payload with explicit from -> to per field

### ErrorErrorDetails

Additional error details (optional)
