25-25: LGTM! Verify the referenced documentation file exists.
The addition of service tasks documentation is placed appropriately in the "Building Diagrams" section, following a logical order after Script Tasks.
Let's verify the existence and basic structure of the referenced documentation file:
✅ Verification successful
✓ Documentation file exists with proper structure
The referenced file docs/Building_Diagrams/service_tasks.md exists and contains well-structured content including:
- Main section for Service Tasks
- Use cases and setup instructions
- Multiple examples with configuration details
🏁 Scripts executed
The following scripts were executed for the analysis:
Script:
#!/bin/bash
# Description: Verify the existence and basic structure of the service tasks documentation
# Check if the file exists
if [ -f "docs/Building_Diagrams/service_tasks.md" ]; then
echo "File exists. Checking content structure..."
# Check for expected sections in the documentation
rg -i "^#.*service.*task" "docs/Building_Diagrams/service_tasks.md"

Enhance security guidance for API key handling.
The current API key handling could be more secure:
- - **basic_auth_password**: `"x"` (enclosed in quotes as its a python expression).
- - **basic_auth_username**: `"secret:BAMBOOHR_API_KEY"`
- - Replace `BAMBOOHR_API_KEY` with your actual API key. This format specifies the username for Basic Auth, using secure handling with `secret:` notation.
+ - **basic_auth_password**: `"x"` (enclosed in quotes as it's a Python expression)
+ - **basic_auth_username**: `"secret:${BAMBOOHR_API_KEY}"`
+ - Replace `${BAMBOOHR_API_KEY}` with an environment variable reference. Never hardcode API keys directly in the workflow configuration.
+ - The `secret:` prefix ensures secure handling of the credential in SpiffWorkflow.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Please mention that this is a requirement of bamboo API, and that other APIs may require different query Parameters, or none at all.

Consider using albums or users or something instead of posts, because post could be confused with HTTP post/get.

We should probably use get request V2 for the other one as well

Or maybe this one should actually use an http post to create an album or something so both are not http get?

Changed both examples to http/GetRequestV2.

15-25: Enhance security guidelinesConsider adding these security best practices to the guidelines:
- Mention the importance of using environment variables for sensitive data
- Add a note about HTTPS requirement for production endpoints
- Include guidance on API rate limiting considerations
43-43: Clarify HTTP methods explanationThe explanation about POST requests could be clearer. Consider:
-This example demonstrates a simple GET request. If you were creating data instead (e.g., using an HTTP POST), you could modify the configuration to use http/PostRequest and change the URL to point to a relevant endpoint. +This example demonstrates a simple GET request to retrieve data.
