Overdue tasks

overdue
Read-onlyIdempotent

List every task whose due day is already past, across all boards, oldest first, in the task_list table. as_of measures against a day you name. A finished task, or one with no due date, never counts.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "overdue"
  }
}

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond those: as_of changes the reference day, finished tasks are excluded, tasks without due dates are excluded, and ordering is oldest first. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Three short sentences, each earning its place: the main behavior, the as_of parameter semantics, and the key exclusions. Information is front-loaded and there is no filler.

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 read-only, two-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential behavior, ordering, date semantics, and edge-case exclusions. 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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents as_of and limit. The description lightly reinforces as_of's meaning but adds no new parameter-level detail beyond what the schema provides.

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?

The description uses a specific verb ('List') with a clear resource (tasks whose due day is past), and adds distinguishing scope: across all boards, oldest first, in the task_list table. This separates it from generic list/search siblings even without naming them.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The context for use is clear: retrieve overdue tasks across all boards. However, it gives no explicit guidance on when not to use it or which sibling to prefer for related needs, such as task_list or task_search.

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