Implementation Reference

• src/tools/workflows-tasks.ts:120-144 (handler)

  The primary handler implementation for the 'get_areas_of_focus' tool. It invokes getAreasOfFocus() from task-retrieval service and formats the result as JSON text content block.

  export const getAreasOfFocusTool: Tool = {
    schema: {
      name: 'get_areas_of_focus',
      description:
        'Get all tasks from the "Areas of focus" project in Todoist. Returns structured JSON data with task details including id, content, description, priority, due date, labels, and more.',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {},
        required: [],
      },
    },
    handler: async () => {
      console.error('Executing get_areas_of_focus...');
      const result = await getAreasOfFocus();
      console.error('get_areas_of_focus completed successfully');
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
    },
  };

• src/tools/workflows-tasks.ts:121-130 (schema)

  Tool schema defining name, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required).

  schema: {
    name: 'get_areas_of_focus',
    description:
      'Get all tasks from the "Areas of focus" project in Todoist. Returns structured JSON data with task details including id, content, description, priority, due date, labels, and more.',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {},
      required: [],
    },
  },

• src/services/tasks/task-retrieval.ts:176-181 (helper)

  Core helper function that retrieves tasks from the 'Areas of focus' Todoist project using a filter query and transforms them into structured TasksResponse.

  export async function getAreasOfFocus(): Promise<TasksResponse> {
    return await fetchTasksByFilter(
      `##${ProjectNames.AREAS_OF_FOCUS}`,
      'get tasks from Areas of focus project'
    );
  }
