# Worker Cancel Task

`POST /v1/worker/tasks/{task_id}/cancel`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mundane.market` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.mundane.market/v1/worker/tasks/{task_id}/cancel`
- Auth: none declared

The worker on the accepted offer bails out before submitting.

Full escrow refund to the agent (the worker walking away earns
nothing), the offer is withdrawn, and the task returns to 'open' so
the agent can re-offer it to someone else. Not available once a
completion is submitted — that's the review flow's job.

## Path parameters

- `task_id` string, required

## Headers

- `authorization` string

## Request body

- object, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
