# Tool Description: TaskList ## Metadata - Request location: `tools[]` - Tool name: `TaskList` - Input schema properties: none ## Description Use this tool to list all tasks in the task list. ## When to Use This Tool - To see what tasks are available to work on (status: 'pending', no owner, not blocked) - To check overall progress on the project - To find tasks that are blocked and need dependencies resolved - After completing a task, to check for newly unblocked work or claim the next available task - **Prefer working on tasks in ID order** (lowest ID first) when multiple tasks are available, as earlier tasks often set up context for later ones ## Output Returns a summary of each task: - **id**: Task identifier (use with TaskGet, TaskUpdate) - **subject**: Brief description of the task - **status**: 'pending', 'in_progress', or 'completed' - **owner**: Agent ID if assigned, empty if available - **blockedBy**: List of open task IDs that must be resolved first (tasks with blockedBy cannot be claimed until dependencies resolve) Use TaskGet with a specific task ID to view full details including description and comments. ## Input Schema ```json { "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false } ``` ## Token Impact - Complete definition estimated tokens: **436** - Measurement: captured tool object serialized independently as JSON text against the common baseline - Additivity: independent, non-additive estimate
