# Run a scientific review

> Check a completed task's analysis for scientific accuracy.

A reviewer agent re-reads a completed task's analysis and checks it for scientific accuracy, correct use of the data, unsupported claims, and stated limitations. A task that is `idle` or still `running` has nothing to review.

The review runs in the background. This call returns immediately with `status: "running"` and does not return the review itself. When it finishes, a new entry appears in `reviews` on `GET /tasks/{task_id}`. Read the findings with `GET /tasks/{task_id}/messages/{message_id}` using that entry's exact `message_id`.

Calling this while a review is running returns the running state. Calling it after a review finishes starts a new one that replaces the previous result.
