# `fastmcp.utilities.tasks`
Task configuration primitives for FastMCP components.
## Classes
### `TaskMeta`
Metadata for task-augmented execution requests.
**Attributes:**
- `ttl`: Client-requested TTL in milliseconds. If None, uses server default.
- `fn_key`: Docket routing key. Auto-derived from component name if None.
### `TaskConfig`
Configuration for MCP background task execution.
Controls how a component handles task-augmented requests:
- ``forbidden``: Component does not support task execution.
- ``optional``: Component supports both synchronous and task execution.
- ``required``: Component requires task execution.
**Methods:**
#### `from_bool`
```python
from_bool(cls, value: bool) -> TaskConfig
```
Convert a boolean task flag to a TaskConfig.
#### `supports_tasks`
```python
supports_tasks(self) -> bool
```
Check if this component supports task execution.
#### `validate_function`
```python
validate_function(self, fn: Callable[..., Any], name: str) -> None
```
Validate that a function is compatible with this task config.
