get_tasks_by_status

Find tasks with a specific execution status.

When to Use:

Identifying work in progress
Finding blocked tasks
Verifying completed work
Planning next actions

Best Practices:

Check BLOCKED tasks for dependency issues
Monitor IN_PROGRESS tasks for updates
Review COMPLETED tasks for verification
Use with path patterns for focused queries

Example: { "status": "BLOCKED", "pathPattern": "project/backend/*", "reasoning": "Checking for blocked backend tasks to identify and resolve dependencies. This helps maintain project momentum by addressing bottlenecks early." }

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`pathPattern`	No	Optional glob pattern to focus search: - Use * for single segment wildcard - Use ** for recursive wildcard - Examples: - project/* (direct children) - project/backend/** (all backend tasks) - /security/ (security tasks at any level) Note: Combines with status filter for precise queries
`status`	Yes	Status to filter tasks by: - PENDING: Not yet started tasks - IN_PROGRESS: Active work items - COMPLETED: Successfully finished tasks - BLOCKED: Tasks waiting on dependencies - CANCELLED: Discontinued tasks Note: Returns all tasks in given status regardless of hierarchy
