tasks_update
Update multiple tasks by ID to a new status in bulk, ensuring tasks are not accidentally renamed or deleted. Provides a complete summary without needing additional calls to tasks_summary.
Instructions
Update tasks in bulk by ID to a different status. Returns complete summary no need to call tasks_summary afterwards. Prevents AI accidentally rename or deleting tasks during mass updates, not even possible
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ids | Yes | The IDs of existing tasks | |
| index | No | 0-based index to place the tasks. e.g.: - 0 for "Do this next" - Omit to place at the end ("Do this later") | |
| source_id | No | Source ID from task_setup() response - Defaults to most recent in the workspace if not provided - Try to always provide it! - If you don't have it, ask the user for a file path and call task_setup() | |
| status | Yes | You might need to infer it from the context: - "To Do" for tasks coming up next (e.g. "Do X next") - "In Progress" for what you'll do now (e.g. "First do X") - "Reminders" instructions for you (the AI) to be constantly reminded of - "Notes" to collect non-actionable notes - "Deleted" when they want these removed - Updating tasks to In Progress moves others to To Do, finishing a In Progress task moves the first Done to In Progress |
