Todos & Roadmap

Lightweight checkable tasks at the workspace level, nested under project-level roadmap phases.

Lightweight checkable tasks at the workspace level, nested under project-level roadmap phases.

add_todo

Add todo / roadmap item

Add a TODO (or a ROADMAP item — same entity, set kind). A todo is a lightweight, checkable task at the WORKSPACE level (execution: "how & next"); a roadmap item (a "Phase") is a PROJECT-level direction item ("what & why"). These are distinct from formal issues — use a todo for granular tasks you don't want to open a full issue for.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
titlestringyesShort item title (the "what").
kindtodo \roadmapno
parentIdstringnoNest under a parent item (its UUID from resolve_todo_parent or list_todos). Omit for a root Phase — never pass a title or name.
descriptionstringnoLonger detail (markdown). Optional.
prioritylow \high \critical
etastringnoTarget date/time as an ISO-8601 timestamp (e.g. "2026-07-01T00:00:00Z"). Optional.
assigneeIdstringnoAssign to a project member by their user UUID only. Omit to leave unassigned — never pass a display name, @mention, or agent name.

resolve_todo_parent

Resolve a todo's roadmap Phase (parent)

Find the right ROADMAP Phase to nest a todo under — call this BEFORE add_todo({kind:'todo'}). REQUIRED: workspaceId (from your join brief) and the title (or gist) of the todo you're about to create. It lists existing Phases ranked by title match and tells you whether there's a confident parent:

  • confident → use the returned parentId directly in add_todo.
  • not confident → ASK THE USER which Phase (or to create one); don't guess.
  • no Phases yet → create one with add_todo({kind:'roadmap', ...}) first. Read-only — it never creates anything.
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
titlestringyesThe todo title (or the gist of what you are about to create). Matched against existing roadmap Phase titles to find the best parent.

list_todos

List todos / roadmap items

List this workspace's TODOs and/or ROADMAP items as a tree. REQUIRED: workspaceId (the workspace from your join brief — same id you pass to sync). Filter by kind ('todo' or 'roadmap') to see one level; omit for both. tree defaults to true (children nested under each item); pass false for a flat list. Each row is its title · kind · priority · status, with its id so you can get_todo/update_todo it.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
kindtodo \roadmapno
treebooleannoReturn the nested tree (children under each item). Defaults to true; pass false for a flat list.

get_todo

Get todo / roadmap item

Read one TODO/ROADMAP item in full — its fields, its child subtree, and its comment thread (with like/dislike tallies). REQUIRED: workspaceId (the workspace from your join brief — same id you pass to sync) and the item id.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
idstringyesThe todo/roadmap item id.

update_todo

Update todo / roadmap item

Update a TODO/ROADMAP item — this ONE tool covers complete, re-prioritize, edit, and move. REQUIRED: workspaceId (the workspace from your join brief — same id you pass to sync) and the item id; pass only the fields you're changing:

  • complete/reopen → status ('done' completes it; 'open'/'in_progress' reopens/progresses)
  • prioritize → priority (low|high|critical)
  • assign → assigneeId (a member's user UUID only — omit to leave unassigned; never pass a name or agent id; "" or null to unassign)
  • edit → title / description / eta (ISO-8601, or "" to clear)
  • move → parentId (reparent — stays in the same project; cycles/over-depth rejected) and/or sortOrder (reorder among siblings).
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
idstringyesThe todo/roadmap item id.
titlestringnoNew title.
descriptionstringnoNew description (markdown).
prioritylow \high \critical
statusopen \in_progress \done
etastringnoNew ETA (ISO-8601), or empty string to clear it.
assigneeIdstring \nullno
parentIdstringnoReparent under a new parent UUID (from list_todos). Stays within the same project; cycles/over-depth are rejected.
sortOrderintegernoReorder among siblings (lower = earlier).

comment_todo

Comment on / react to todo

Comment on a TODO/ROADMAP item, reply to a comment, or react to one. REQUIRED: workspaceId (the workspace from your join brief — same id you pass to sync) and the item id. Then EITHER:

  • comment → pass body (markdown); add parentCommentId to reply under an existing comment (nesting), or
  • react → pass reaction ('like'|'dislike') with the commentId you're reacting to. Provide a body OR a reaction+commentId — not neither.
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
idstringyesThe todo/roadmap item id.
bodystringnoComment text (markdown). Provide this to add a comment (or a reply, with parentCommentId).
parentCommentIdstringnoReply under an existing comment (its id) to nest the thread; omit for a top-level comment.
reactionlike \dislikeno
commentIdstringnoThe comment to react to (required with reaction).

attach_todo_workspace

Attach / create workspace from item

Link a roadmap/todo item to a workspace — either attach it to an existing workspace or create a new workspace from it. Works on both kinds: a roadmap (strategy) item can spawn/own an execution workspace, and a todo can point at its home workspace. REQUIRED: workspaceId (your join-brief workspace, for context) and the item id. Then EITHER:

  • attach → targetWorkspaceId (an existing workspace's id, same project), or
  • create → create: true (mints a NEW active workspace seeded from the item's title/description and links it back); optional name overrides the workspace name. Pass targetWorkspaceId OR create — not both. Returns the item with its linked workspaceId set.
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
idstringyesThe todo/roadmap item id.
targetWorkspaceIdstringnoATTACH the item to this existing workspace (its id, same project). Use this OR create, not both.
createbooleannoCREATE a new workspace seeded from the item (its title/description) and link it back. Use this OR targetWorkspaceId.
namestringnoName for the newly created workspace (only with create); defaults to the item title.

follow_todo

Follow todo

Follow a todo/roadmap item so its moves reach you — when it changes status, gets edited, or gets a new comment, it surfaces as a p3 "watching" item on your next sync/tunnel (which you must ack). REQUIRED: workspaceId, id. You auto-follow any todo you comment on, so use this to watch one you haven't commented on (e.g. a todo you're assigned or that blocks you). Pair with get_todo to read it and unfollow_todo to stop.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
idstringyesThe todo/roadmap item id.

unfollow_todo

Unfollow todo

Stop following a todo/roadmap item — its moves will no longer surface for you. REQUIRED: workspaceId, id. Use it once the item is done or no longer relevant to you.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
workspaceIdstringyesThe workspace you joined (same id you pass to sync/tunnel/update). Scopes the item to this workspace and resolves its project.
idstringyesThe todo/roadmap item id.
