Implementation Reference
- src/asana-client-wrapper.ts:273-284 (handler)Core implementation of fetching multiple tasks: validates max 25, uses Promise.all to call getTask in parallel for each task ID, returns array of task objects.
async getMultipleTasksByGid(taskIds: string[], opts: any = {}) { if (taskIds.length > 25) { throw new Error("Maximum of 25 task IDs allowed"); } // Use Promise.all to fetch tasks in parallel const tasks = await Promise.all( taskIds.map(taskId => this.getTask(taskId, opts)) ); return tasks; } - src/tool-handler.ts:384-394 (handler)Tool dispatch handler: destructures args, converts task_ids (array or comma-separated string) to array, calls AsanaClientWrapper.getMultipleTasksByGid, returns JSON response.
case "asana_get_multiple_tasks_by_gid": { const { task_ids, ...opts } = args; // Handle both array and string input const taskIdList = Array.isArray(task_ids) ? task_ids : task_ids.split(',').map((id: string) => id.trim()).filter((id: string) => id.length > 0); const response = await asanaClient.getMultipleTasksByGid(taskIdList, opts); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }], }; } - src/tools/task-tools.ts:406-435 (schema)Defines the Tool object with name, description, and inputSchema for validating task_ids (array max 25 or comma-string) and opt_fields.
export const getMultipleTasksByGidTool: Tool = { name: "asana_get_multiple_tasks_by_gid", description: "Get detailed information about multiple tasks by their GIDs (maximum 25 tasks)", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { task_ids: { oneOf: [ { type: "array", items: { type: "string" }, maxItems: 25 }, { type: "string", description: "Comma-separated list of task GIDs (max 25)" } ], description: "Array or comma-separated string of task GIDs to retrieve (max 25)" }, opt_fields: { type: "string", description: "Comma-separated list of optional fields to include" } }, required: ["task_ids"] } }; - src/tool-handler.ts:84-86 (registration)Exports the list_of_tools which includes the asana_get_multiple_tasks_by_gid tool (imported and added to all_tools earlier), filtered for read-only mode if enabled. This list is used for MCP tool registration.
export const list_of_tools = isReadOnlyMode ? all_tools.filter(tool => READ_ONLY_TOOLS.includes(tool.name)) : all_tools; - src/tool-handler.ts:19-25 (registration)Imports the getMultipleTasksByGidTool from task-tools.ts for inclusion in the tools list.
