Implementation Reference

• goodday_mcp/main.py:426-453 (handler)

  The handler function that implements the core logic for the get_user_assigned_tasks tool. It makes an API request to fetch user-assigned tasks and formats the response using format_task.

  async def get_user_assigned_tasks(user_id: str, closed: bool = False) -> str:
      """Get tasks assigned to a specific user.
