- Stores tasks internally as a queue
- Returns an execution plan (task overview, task ID, current queue status)
Execution Phase
- Returns the next task from the queue when requested
- Provides feedback mechanism for task completion
- Removes completed tasks from the queue
- Prepares the next task for execution
