Is there a way to catch errors coming from custom function block?

Currently when I want to catch errors coming from arbitrary action block I rely on phantom.get_summary() looking at action status. But I notice that Custom Function blocks cannot be found there, so my question is how do I check the status of a Custom Function block, and catch errors originating there

There are two ways to handle any issues/errors from custom functions:

1. Move the CF code into apps so that they can be part of the summary at the end. (I have just done this for one of my customers but for efficiency rather than this issue).

2. Handle any possible issues in the function code and have an output of "status" and/or "message" and handle it in the playbook. This still won't appear in the summary but will let you know if any CFs had an issue.
