list-todo-tasks

Read-only

Lists tasks from a specified Microsoft To Do list. Filter by status or search to find specific tasks.

Instructions

Get the todoTask resources from the tasks navigation property of a specified todoTaskList.

💡 TIP: Lists tasks in a To Do list. Requires todoTaskList-id — use list-todo-task-lists to find it. NOTE: $select is NOT supported — do not pass select, Graph returns 400. Use $filter=status eq 'notStarted' or $filter=status eq 'completed' to filter by status. Use $top to limit results. Status values: 'notStarted', 'inProgress', 'completed', 'waitingOnOthers', 'deferred'.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
topNoPage size (Graph $top). Start small (e.g. 5–15) so responses fit the model context; raise only if needed. Use $select to return fewer fields per item. For more rows, use @odata.nextLink from the response instead of a very large $top.
skipNoItems to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search.
searchNoKQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter.
filterNoOData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search.
countNoSet true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains().
orderbyNoSort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc
selectNoComma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
expandNoExpand related entities
todoTaskListIdYesPath parameter: todoTaskListId
fetchAllPagesNoFollow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search.
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds operational details: $select returns 400, filter syntax, status values, and pagination tips. This enhances transparency without contradicting annotations.

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 a single paragraph with a tip and bullet-like notes. It is efficient but could be more structured with bullet points for readability. No wasted sentences.

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

Completeness4/5

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

No output schema exists, but the description covers usage well given parameter richness and annotations. It explains input semantics and constraints comprehensively for agent to invoke correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value beyond schema: tip about requiring todoTaskList-id, explicit note about $select unsupported, filter examples, and status value enumeration, aiding agent understanding.

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 clearly states the verb 'get' and resource 'todoTask resources from a specified todoTaskList'. It uses 'List tasks in a To Do list', which is a specific action distinct from sibling tools like create-todo-task or get-todo-task.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit guidance: requires todoTaskList-id, refers to list-todo-task-lists to find it, warns that $select is unsupported, gives filter examples with status values, and mentions pagination with $top. No explicit when-not-to-use, but clear context for correct invocation.

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