Output Schema ​

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
runner_group_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the RunnerGroup this action operates on, picked from the organization's list of runner groups; echoed on output alongside terminal/error payloads.
organization_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the caller's organization, injected server-side from the authenticated request; scopes the operation to the correct tenant. Echoed on output alongside terminal/error payloads.
runner_execution_uuiduuidNo—UUID of the RunnerExecution this action operates on, picked from the organization's (optionally group-scoped) list of executions; echoed on output alongside terminal/error payloads.
workflow_uuidstringNo—Engine workflow-run identifier (or, for GitHub-Actions-triggered flows, an external GitHub Actions run id) associated with this record; not a platform entity foreign key despite the name. No source is attached since there is no list/query workflow for an internal run id.
