def drop_task(task_id: str) -> dict[str, str]: """Complete a task in OmniFocus. Args: task_id: The ID of the task to complete. Returns: A dictionary containing the dropped task's details. """ script = Template( dedent(""" ${__common_functions__} (() => { let task = Task.byIdentifier("${task_id}"); if (!task) { throw "Could not find task: " + task_id.toString(); } task.drop(false); return formatTask(task); })(); """) ) return evaluate_javascript(script.substitute(__common_functions__=__common_functions__, task_id=task_id)) - src/mcp_omnifocus/server.py:108-111 (registration)MCP tool registration for 'drop_task', including input schema (Annotated task_id) and docstring, which delegates execution to the omnifocus.drop_task function.
