subtasks and a markdown description.

clickup_get_tasks(one List) orclickup_get_filtered_team_tasks(whole Workspace).
Returns:
Markdown detail (name, status, priority, assignees, dates, description) or the
raw task JSON when response_format="json".

params = {"task_id": "86cxy1", "include_subtasks": true}By custom id:
params = {"task_id": "PROJ-42", "custom_task_ids": true, "team_id": "9000"}
Error Handling:
404 means the id is wrong (or you passed a Custom Task ID without
custom_task_ids=true).
