OmniFocus MCP Server

batch_complete_tasks

Mark multiple tasks as completed simultaneously using task IDs, saving time compared to individual completion.

Instructions

Complete multiple tasks at once. More efficient than completing one by one.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskIdsYesArray of task IDs to complete
syncNoTrigger an OmniFocus sync after the batch completes (default false). Skips on error.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only states the generic action without disclosing behavior such as partial success, error handling, or atomicity. The sync parameter is mentioned in the schema but not in the description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very concise with two sentences and no redundant information. However, it is front-loaded with the key action, which is good, but lacks depth.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, no annotations, and only two simple parameters, the description fails to provide context about return values, error conditions, or prerequisites. Compared to sibling batch tools, there is no contrast or usage guidance.

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?

The input schema already describes both parameters (taskIds and sync) with coverage of 100%. The description adds no additional parameter-level information beyond the schema.

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 explicitly states 'Complete multiple tasks at once' with a clear verb and resource, and it distinguishes from the sibling 'complete_task' by emphasizing batch efficiency.

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 description hints at when to use it ('more efficient than completing one by one') but does not specify when not to use it or explicitly name alternatives like 'complete_task' for single tasks.

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