Cancel Tasks tool¶

The Cancel Tasks tool in geeadd is a powerful utility designed to streamline task management within Google Earth Engine (GEE). This tool provides users with precise control over task cancellation, allowing for the cancellation of various task types based on specific criteria. Whether you need to cancel all tasks, terminate running tasks, clear pending tasks, or selectively cancel a single task using its unique task ID, the Cancel Tasks tool has you covered.
