The `DurableTask` worker status path looked up durable event log entries by a caller-supplied task UUID with no tenant filter, so a holder of any tenant's token who knew another tenant's task UUID could read its entries. The advisory names Hatchet Cloud as affected and calls exploitation very unlikely because the IDs are random UUIDs. Fixed in 0.106.1. It is the event log this listing is graded on, so 2 points for a fixed path. https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet/security/advisories/GHSA-992g-9cr3-vm5x (read through https://api.osv.dev/v1/vulns/GHSA-992g-9cr3-vm5x)",

Hatchet supplies only the pause and resume. It has no approver inbox, notification channel or record of who answered, and its MCP server cannot push the event.\n\n**Inngest.** Waits are durable and cost nothing while suspended, with runs up to 30 days on Free and 366 on Business. No reviewer inbox, Slack app or email, so the human side is your code.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hatchet\n\n1. Put the approval wait in a durable task, and keep API calls, database reads and random values in child tasks, because the code between checkpoints is replayed\n2. Add a sleep condition in the same or group as the event condition to set a deadline, and treat the sleep firing first as a timeout\n3. Give the event a scope and the wait a lookback window when the answer can arrive before the wait starts. Both must be set together\n4. Filter with a CEL expression such as `input.user_id == '1234'` so one approval key cannot resume another request's task\n5. Push the answer with the SDK's event push or `POST /api/v1/tenants/{tenant}/events`. The MCP server has no tool for it\n6. Grant the MCP server one profile with `hatchet mcp auth --grant \u003cprofile\u003e`. It refuses profiles that were not granted\n\n### Inngest\n\n1. Use `step.waitForSignal()` when one run waits for one answer, and `waitForEvent` only when one answer resumes many runs\n2. Register the wait before you send the approval request, or check the external state first, since early events are missed\n3. Use a unique approval ID per tool call and `match` on it, so parallel approvals resolve independently\n4. Treat `null` or `undefined` as a timeout and decide on purpose whether that rejects, approves or escalates\n5. Set an event `id` when sending the answer, so a retried send is dropped within 24 hours\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hatchet or Inngest?\n\nHatchet scores 68.3 (B) on agent readiness against Inngest's 66 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are Hatchet and Inngest open source?\n\nHatchet is open source (MIT).
