When a predecessor task finishes, what happens to downstream tasks in MCP?

Downstream tasks remain unchanged Downstream tasks are automatically updated Downstream tasks are canceled Downstream tasks require manual restart

Correct Answer:

Downstream tasks are automatically updated

Explanation:

In MCP, tasks are often linked through dependencies so progress on one task can unlock others. When a predecessor finishes, the system automatically propagates that completion to all downstream tasks. This means those downstream tasks become unblocked and can move forward—their status updates to ready or in progress as appropriate, and scheduling details can adjust automatically to reflect the new reality. The goal is to keep the workflow coherent and reduce manual work, preventing delays from requiring someone to manually restart or adjust everything. So downstream tasks updating automatically is the expected behavior, rather than staying unchanged, being canceled, or needing manual restart.
