Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:1320-1386 (handler)

  Main handler implementation for 'jules_get_task'. Navigates to the Jules task page in a browser (Playwright), extracts status, chat history, source files using DOM selectors, updates local JSON data persistence, and returns formatted task summary.

  private async getTask(args: any) {
    const { taskId } = args;
    const actualTaskId = this.extractTaskId(taskId);
    const page = await this.getPage();
  
    try {
      // Navigate to task
      const url = taskId.includes('jules.google.com') ? taskId : `${this.config.baseUrl}/task/${actualTaskId}`;
      await page.goto(url);
      await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
  
      // Extract task information
      const taskData = await page.evaluate(() => {
        // Extract chat messages
        const chatMessages = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('div.chat-content')).map(el => ({
          content: el.textContent?.trim() || '',
          timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
          type: 'system' as const
        }));
  
        // Extract source files
        const sourceFiles = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('div.source-content a')).map(link => ({
          filename: link.textContent?.trim() || '',
          url: link.getAttribute('href') || '',
          status: 'modified' as const
        }));
  
        // Extract task status
        const statusEl = document.querySelector('.task-status, [data-status], .status');
        const status = statusEl?.textContent?.toLowerCase() || 'unknown';
  
        return {
          chatMessages,
          sourceFiles,
          status
        };
      });
  
      // Update local data
      const data = await this.loadTaskData();
      let task = data.tasks.find(t => t.id === actualTaskId);
      
      if (task) {
        task.chatHistory = taskData.chatMessages;
        task.sourceFiles = taskData.sourceFiles;
        task.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
        await this.saveTaskData(data);
      }
  
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: `Task Details (${actualTaskId}):\n\n` +
                  `Status: ${taskData.status}\n` +
                  `URL: ${url}\n` +
                  `Source Files (${taskData.sourceFiles.length}):\n` +
                  taskData.sourceFiles.map(f => `  - ${f.filename}`).join('\n') +
                  `\n\nRecent Chat Messages (${taskData.chatMessages.length}):\n` +
                  taskData.chatMessages.slice(-3).map(m => `  - ${m.content.slice(0, 100)}...`).join('\n')
          }
        ]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      throw new Error(`Failed to get task: ${error}`);
    }
  }
