Get Workspace Context
get_contextGet a snapshot of the current workspace: task counts per view, recent open tasks, and every project, label, team and member. This is the tool that answers what is in the workspace and resolves a project, label, team or member by name — there is no separate list tool for those. Use it for that, not as a warm-up before every turn. For tasks themselves use task_list (a view), search (by words) or task_show (one task): the recent tasks here are only the latest few.

}
}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| context | Yes | Explain 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." | |
| timezone | No | IANA 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. | |
| workspace | No | Workspace id, slug, or name. Required when the account has more than one workspace: a call without it then fails and names the choices | |
| tasks_limit | No | Max recent open tasks to return | |
| projects_status | No | Which projects to return | active |
