Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1157-1174 (handler)Executes the tool by validating arguments with isQuickAddArgs and calling todoistClient.quickAddTask with the provided text, optional note, and reminder.if (name === "todoist_quick_add_task") { if (!isQuickAddArgs(args)) { throw new Error("Invalid arguments for todoist_quick_add_task"); } const quickAddData: any = { text: args.text }; if (args.note) quickAddData.note = args.note; if (args.reminder) quickAddData.reminder = args.reminder; const result = await todoistClient.quickAddTask(quickAddData); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Task created via Quick Add:\n${JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}` }], isError: false, }; }
- src/index.ts:68-89 (schema)Tool definition including name, description, and JSON input schema specifying required 'text' and optional 'note' and 'reminder'.const QUICK_ADD_TASK_TOOL: Tool = { name: "todoist_quick_add_task", description: "Create a task using Todoist's Quick Add feature with natural language parsing", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { text: { type: "string", description: "Natural language text for quick task creation (e.g., 'Buy milk tomorrow at 2pm #shopping')" }, note: { type: "string", description: "Additional note for the task (optional)" }, reminder: { type: "string", description: "Reminder time (optional)" } }, required: ["text"] } };
- src/index.ts:1083-1121 (registration)Registers the tool by including QUICK_ADD_TASK_TOOL in the list returned by ListToolsRequestSchema handler.server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: [ // Task tools CREATE_TASK_TOOL, QUICK_ADD_TASK_TOOL, GET_TASKS_TOOL, GET_TASK_TOOL, UPDATE_TASK_TOOL, DELETE_TASK_TOOL, COMPLETE_TASK_TOOL, REOPEN_TASK_TOOL, SEARCH_TASKS_TOOL, MOVE_TASK_TOOL, BULK_MOVE_TASKS_TOOL, // Project tools GET_PROJECTS_TOOL, GET_PROJECT_TOOL, CREATE_PROJECT_TOOL, UPDATE_PROJECT_TOOL, DELETE_PROJECT_TOOL, // Section tools GET_SECTIONS_TOOL, CREATE_SECTION_TOOL, UPDATE_SECTION_TOOL, DELETE_SECTION_TOOL, // Label tools CREATE_LABEL_TOOL, GET_LABEL_TOOL, GET_LABELS_TOOL, UPDATE_LABEL_TOOL, DELETE_LABEL_TOOL, // Comment tools CREATE_COMMENT_TOOL, GET_COMMENT_TOOL, GET_COMMENTS_TOOL, UPDATE_COMMENT_TOOL, DELETE_COMMENT_TOOL, ], }));
- src/index.ts:763-774 (helper)Type guard function used in the handler to validate input arguments for the todoist_quick_add_task tool.function isQuickAddArgs(args: unknown): args is { text: string; note?: string; reminder?: string; } { return ( typeof args === "object" && args !== null && "text" in args && typeof (args as { text: string }).text === "string" ); }
