list-todo-tasks

list-todo-tasks
Read-only

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

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.
countNoSet true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains().
expandNoExpand related entities
filterNoOData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search.
searchNoKQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter.
selectNoComma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
orderbyNoSort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc
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
todoTaskListIdYesPath parameter: todoTaskListId
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 important behavioral details: $select is not supported and returns 400, $count must be true for advanced filters, and fetchAllPages can return enormous payloads. This adds value beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is well-structured, starting with a clear purpose statement followed by a tip section. Every sentence adds value (prerequisites, restrictions, usage suggestions). It is not overly verbose while being comprehensive.

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?

Given the complexity (12 parameters, no output schema), the description covers key aspects: how to get the list ID, filtering, pagination, and unsupported options. It lacks explicit description of the response format, but the purpose and tips imply what is returned.

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 practical semantics: tip for $top to start small (5-15), $search values must be in double quotes, and $select is not supported despite being a parameter. These details enhance understanding 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 clearly states the purpose: 'Get the todoTask resources from the tasks navigation property of a specified todoTaskList.' It distinguishes from sibling tools like list-todo-task-lists by requiring the list ID and explicitly saying it lists tasks within a list.

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 todoTaskListId (use list-todo-task-lists to find it), warns that $select is not supported, suggests using $filter and $top, and lists valid status values. It does not explicitly state when not to use this tool, but the prerequisite and filter options are clear.

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