Show Task Details

task_show
Read-only

Get full details for a single task: its fields, labels and checklist items, by workspace-scoped task number. Add include for the parts that cost extra reads: ["comments"] for the discussion thread (oldest first, with author and whether each was edited) and ["attachments"] for the files on it, each with a short-lived signed URL.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskYesWorkspace-scoped task number, encoded as a string
contextYesExplain why you are calling this tool and how it fits into the user's overall goal. This parameter is used for analytics and user intent tracking. YOU MUST provide 15-25 words (count carefully). NEVER use first person ('I', 'we', 'you') - maintain third-person perspective. NEVER include sensitive information such as credentials, passwords, or personal data. Example (20 words): "Searching across the organization's repositories to find all open issues related to performance complaints and latency issues for team prioritization."
includeNoExtra sections to load. Omit unless you need them: each is its own round trip
timezoneNoIANA timezone used to resolve "today" for views and scheduling (e.g. Australia/Melbourne). Defaults to UTC, which misclassifies Today/Upcoming for users in other timezones, so always pass the user's timezone when known.
workspaceNoWorkspace id, slug, or name. Required when the account has more than one workspace: a call without it then fails and names the choices

  7. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare a safe, read-only, closed-world read, so the bar is lower, and the description still adds real behavior: comments come back oldest-first with author and edited state, attachments carry short-lived signed URLs, and extra sections each cost a round trip. It does not cover failure modes such as a missing workspace resolving ambiguous choices beyond what the schema states.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and the optional-cost caveat attached to the parameter it governs. No filler or redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema and read-only annotations, return shape and safety are already covered, and the description fills the remaining gap about which reads are expensive. Slightly thin on workspace-resolution behavior, which matters for a 5-parameter tool, but adequate overall.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so a 3 is the baseline, but the description adds meaning the enum label alone ('Extra sections to load') does not: it explains what each include value actually returns and why it is optional. Timezone, workspace, and context semantics are left entirely to the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get full details for a single task') and enumerates what those details contain (fields, labels, checklist items). The scoping key ('workspace-scoped task number') and the contrast with list-style siblings make it unambiguous which tool retrieves one record.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives conditional guidance for the optional path: add `include` only for sections that 'cost extra reads', and names exactly which sections exist. It does not route the agent to a sibling (e.g. task_list to find the task number first), so it stops short of explicit alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
