prompt
Use this tool to retrieve a task by its ID from the task list.
When to Use This Tool
  • When you need the full description and context before starting work on a task
  • To understand task dependencies (what it blocks, what blocks it)
  • After being assigned a task, to get complete requirements
Output
Returns full task details:
  • subject: Task title
  • description: Detailed requirements and context
  • status: 'pending', 'in_progress', or 'completed'
  • blocks: Tasks waiting on this one to complete
  • blockedBy: Tasks that must complete before this one can start
Tips
  • After fetching a task, verify its blockedBy list is empty before beginning work.
  • Use TaskList to see all tasks in summary form.
