Summary
overwrite_cache: bool = Falseparameter to therun_taskMCP tool, threaded throughrun_remote_tasktoflyte.with_runcontext(overwrite_cache=...).true, Flyte ignores cached results and forces re-execution, storing new outputs in cache.false, passestruewhen set).Why
I'd like to run a task to get accurate timing. I think Union may cache images that have been pulled so the first execution is slower than a subsequent execution with cache=False. Could probably be useful in other scenarios.
Test plan
uv run pytest tests/unit/tools/test_tasks.py— all 13 tests passrun_taskwithoverwrite_cache=trueagainst a cached task and verify re-execution
