Archive Task

task_archive
Destructive

Archive a task, or several at once with tasks (max 50). They move to the Trash view, out of every working list, and stay readable there (task_list view: "trash"). Archiving is not completing: use task_done for work that was finished, and task_archive only for tasks the user wants gone. Confirm with the user first.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskNoWorkspace-scoped task number, encoded as a string
tasksNoSeveral workspace-scoped task numbers (max 50), instead of `task`. Confirm the list with the user first: one call changes every task in it.
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."
workspaceNoWorkspace id, slug, or name. Required when the account has more than one workspace: a call without it then fails and names the choices

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYes
countYes
tasksYesEvery task the call changed, in the order it was given
actionYes

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark it destructive, but the description adds the consequences that annotations cannot convey: tasks leave every working list, land in a readable Trash view (i.e. recoverable, not deleted), and a single batch call changes every task in the list. It also flags the confirmation requirement.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three compact sentences, front-loaded with the action and the batch option, then the disambiguation, then the safety note. The only redundancy is repeating the 'max 50' cap that the schema already encodes.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a destructive, batch-capable mutation with an output schema available for return values, the description covers scope, consequences, recoverability, and required confirmation. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so `task`, `tasks`, `context`, and `workspace` are already documented with patterns and the 50-item cap. The description restates the max-50 limit but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so it sits at the baseline.

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 (archive) and resource (task), covers the batch variant with `tasks` and its 50-item cap, and explicitly contrasts itself with task_done. An agent can distinguish it from task_show, task_edit, and task_done without opening a schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit when-to-use (tasks the user wants gone), when-not (work that was finished - use task_done), a required confirmation step, and the follow-up path for retrieval (task_list `view: "trash"`). This is the full when/when-not/alternative triad.

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