list-todo-tasks

Read-only

Retrieve tasks from a specific Microsoft To Do list. Filter by status, search, or paginate to manage results.

Instructions

Get the todoTask resources from the tasks navigation property of a specified todoTaskList.

💡 TIP: Lists tasks in a To Do list. Requires todoTaskList-id — use list-todo-task-lists to find it. NOTE: $select is NOT supported — do not pass select, Graph returns 400. Use $filter=status eq 'notStarted' or $filter=status eq 'completed' to filter by status. Use $top to limit results. Status values: 'notStarted', 'inProgress', 'completed', 'waitingOnOthers', 'deferred'.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
topNoPage size (Graph $top). Start small (e.g. 5–15) so responses fit the model context; raise only if needed. Use $select to return fewer fields per item. For more rows, use @odata.nextLink from the response instead of a very large $top.
skipNoItems to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search.
countNoSet true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains().
expandNoExpand related entities
filterNoOData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search.
searchNoKQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter.
selectNoComma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
orderbyNoSort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc
fetchAllPagesNoFollow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search.
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
todoTaskListIdYesPath parameter: todoTaskListId
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description goes beyond annotations by disclosing that $select is not supported and will cause a 400 error, which is critical behavioral information. Annotations already indicate read-only, but the description adds valuable context about API limitations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise and front-loaded with the main purpose, followed by a tip block with practical advice. Every sentence adds value, though a more structured layout could improve readability.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (12 params, no output schema), the description covers key aspects: obtaining the required parameter, limitations, filtering, and pagination. It is reasonably complete for an AI agent, though it could mention pagination via nextLink explicitly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema covers all 12 parameters with descriptions, and the description adds extra meaning: it clarifies the unsupported $select, provides example filter values, and mentions status enum values. This significantly enhances understanding beyond schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves todoTask resources for a specified todoTaskList, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list-todo-task-lists and get-todo-task.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit usage guidance: requires todoTaskList-id (obtained via sibling tool), warns against using $select (returns 400), and recommends filters and $top. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use scenarios but is otherwise clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
