OPEN_TASK_DETAILS_TOOL, - Core helper method in TaskFlowService that implements the business logic: loads tasks, searches for the task by ID across all requests, enhances description with prompts, and returns full task details.
public async openTaskDetails(taskId: string) { await this.loadTasks(); // Find the task across all requests for (const req of this.data.requests) { const task = req.tasks.find((t) => t.id === taskId); if (task) { const enhancedDescription = this.applyPromptsToTaskDescription(task.description, this.data.prompts); return { status: "task_found", task: { id: task.id, title: task.title, description: enhancedDescription, done: task.done, completedDetails: task.completedDetails, subtasks: task.subtasks, dependencies: task.dependencies || [], ...(this.data.prompts?.instructions && { instructions: this.data.prompts.instructions }) }, requestId: req.requestId, message: "Task details retrieved successfully." }; } } return { status: "error", message: "Task not found" }; }
