Remarks

Task classes marked with this attribute indicate they can be safely executed in parallel in the same process with other tasks.

Tasks using this attribute must satisfy strict requirements: - Must not modify global process state (environment variables, working directory, etc.) - Must not depend on global process state, including relative path resolution

MSBuild detects this attribute by its namespace and name only, ignoring the defining assembly. This allows customers to define the attribute in their own assemblies alongside their tasks.

When defining polyfilled versions of this attribute in customer assemblies, they must also specify Inherited = false to ensure proper non-inheritable semantics.
