Available Tools

7 tools
completeTaskB

Complete a task and get the next task to execute. To start the next task, execute startTask.

Inputs: id (required), resolution (required).

createTaskA

Create a new task with optional parent and index positioning.

This tool initiates a new workflow for handling user requests. To manage tasks, you MUST always run this tool first. The workflow is as follows:

  1. Create tasks with the provided name and optional description. Tasks are organized in a hierarchical structure where subtasks can be created by specifying parentId.

  2. Tasks are ordered by their position in the parent's tasks array. Use insertIndex to specify position (defaults to end).

  3. After task creation, you MUST call the startTask tool to begin processing the task.

  4. When the task is completed, call the completeTask tool with the task ID and resolution details.

  5. If the following task is assigned, execute it by calling the startTask tool again.

  6. Repeat this cycle until all tasks are completed.

Inputs: name (required), completion_criteria, constraints, description, +3 more.

deleteTaskC

Delete a task by its ID

Inputs: id (required).

getTaskB

Get a task by its ID

Inputs: id (required).

listTasksA

List tasks from hierarchical structure, optionally filtered by parentId. Returns root tasks if no parentId specified, or direct children of specified parent task.

Inputs: parentId.

startTaskB

Start a task (change status to in_progress)

  1. Run this tool to start the task.

  2. When the task is complete, call the completeTask tool to complete the task.

    TDQS

    A3.6/5.0

    Scored across 7 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: createTask initiates tasks, getTask retrieves a single task, listTasks retrieves multiple tasks, updateTask modifies tasks, deleteTask removes tasks, startTask begins task execution, and completeTask finishes execution and triggers the next step. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with camelCase styling (e.g., createTask, getTask, listTasks, updateTask, deleteTask, startTask, completeTask). This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 7 tools, this server is well-scoped for task orchestration, covering the full lifecycle from creation to completion. Each tool serves a necessary function without redundancy, making the count ideal for the domain.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set provides complete CRUD and lifecycle coverage for task management: create, read (get and list), update, and delete operations, plus start and complete actions for execution flow. There are no gaps that would hinder an agent from managing tasks end-to-end.
