## Types

### v4.NodeInput

- `name` (string, required) — The name of the entity the node represents.
- `attributes` (map from string to any, optional) — Additional attributes of the node, as defined by its entity type.
- `label` (string, optional) — The node's entity type.
- `metadata` (map from string to any, optional) — Metadata to store on the node.
- `summary` (string, optional) — A summary of the entity the node represents.

### graphiti.AddedNode

- `name` (string, required) — The name of the node.
- `attributes` (map from string to any, optional) — Additional attributes of the node.
- `created_at` (string, optional) — The node creation time.
- `label` (string, optional) — The node's entity type.
- `metadata` (map from string to any, optional) — Metadata attached to the node's shadow episode.
- `summary` (string, optional) — A regional summary of the node.
- `uuid` (string, optional) — The node UUID, assigned by Zep.

### v4.Task

- `completed_at` (string, optional) — The time the task reached a terminal status; absent while it is still in progress.
- `created_at` (string, optional) — The time the task was created.
- `error` (v4.ErrorBody, optional) — The error that caused the task to fail; also present on a partial task when the worker can name a single cause.
- `progress` (v4.TaskProgress, optional) — The last processing stage a worker reported for this task. It is not cleared when the task finishes, so a completed task may still show its final stage.
- `result` (map from string to any, optional) — Operation-specific output populated once the task reaches succeeded or partial, such as identifiers the operation could not return synchronously.
- `started_at` (string, optional) — The time a worker began processing the task; absent until then.
- `status` (string, optional) — The task's current state: pending, processing, succeeded, partial, or failed.
- `type` (string, optional) — The kind of asynchronous operation the task represents.
- `updated_at` (string, optional) — The time the task was last updated.
- `uuid` (string, optional) — The unique identifier of the task, used to poll its status.

### v4.ErrorBody

- `code` (string, optional)
- `details` (map from string to any, optional)
- `message` (string, optional)
- `param` (string, optional)
- `request_id` (string, optional)

### v4.TaskProgress

- `stage` (string, optional) — The most recent processing stage reported by the worker handling the task.
