## Usage
Use the MCP tool `dev-swarm.request` to send the payload as a JSON string:
```json
{"server_id":"backgroundProcess","tool_name":"start_process","arguments":{}}
```
## Tool Description
Starts a new background process (servers, watchers, etc.).
## Arguments Schema
The schema below describes the `arguments` object in the request payload.
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"command": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"command"
],
"additionalProperties": false,
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}
```
## Background Tasks
If the tool returns a task id, poll the task status via the MCP request tool:
```json
{"server_id":"backgroundProcess","method":"tasks/status","params":{"task_id":"<task_id>"}}
```
