Get a summary of the OmniFocus database including counts of inbox items, projects, tags, folders, available/due-soon/overdue/flagged tasks

Search across all OmniFocus items (tasks, projects, folders, tags) by name or note content

Dump the entire OmniFocus database including inbox, projects, folders, tags, and perspectives in a single call. Essential for getting full context.

Explicitly save the OmniFocus database to disk

Trigger an OmniFocus sync to push local changes to OmniSync and pull updates from other devices. CALL THIS ONCE at the end of any session that mutated data — especially after batch_create_tasks, batch_complete_tasks, batch_delete_tasks, or any sequence of multiple create/update/delete/move operations. Do NOT call after every individual mutation; sync once at the end of the chain. Returns immediately while sync runs in the background.

Built-in perspectives (Inbox, Projects, Tags, Forecast, Flagged, Review, Nearby) are not enumerable via the API — use dedicated tools instead (get_inbox_tasks, get_flagged_tasks, get_review_queue, list_projects, list_tags, or list_tasks with date filters for Forecast).

Get tasks shown in a specific custom perspective. Built-in perspectives (Inbox, Forecast, etc.) are not supported — use dedicated tools instead.
