WHAT IT DOES

What GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK does on Google Super

AI agents use GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK to create or update resources in Google Super, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Google Super environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	—	Unique identifier for the task. Generated by Google Tasks API when creating a task. Used for updating or deleting existing tasks.
`due`	string	—	Due date for the task (optional). NOTE: Google Tasks only stores the date portion - any time provided will be normalized to midnight UTC by the API. Google Tas
`etag`	string	—	ETag of the resource for concurrency control. Prevents accidental overwrites when multiple clients modify the same task. Auto-generated by the API.
`notes`	string	—	Additional details or description for the task. Supports plain text only (no HTML/markdown). Maximum 8192 characters. Example: 'Include Q3 sales data and projec
`title`	string	—	Title/name of the task (REQUIRED). This is the main text displayed for the task. Maximum 1024 characters. Example: 'Complete quarterly report'
`hidden`	boolean	—	Whether the task is hidden from the default view. Hidden tasks can still be accessed via API but won't show in UI. Default: false
`status`	string	—	Current status of the task (REQUIRED). Must be either 'needsAction' (task is pending) or 'completed' (task is done). Default: 'needsAction'
`deleted`	boolean	—	Whether the task has been deleted. Deleted tasks are marked but not immediately removed, allowing for recovery. Default: false
`completed`	string	—	Date/time when the task was marked as completed. Only applicable when status='completed'. Unlike 'due', this field preserves the time component. Google Tasks A
`task_parent`	string	—	Identifier of an existing task to serve as parent; if provided, creates a subtask, otherwise a top-level task in the specified list.
`tasklist_id`	string	—	Identifier for the Google Task list where the new task will be created. Use actual task list IDs, not '@default'. You can get list IDs using 'List Task Lists' a
`task_previous`	string	—	Identifier of an existing task after which the new task will be placed, at the same hierarchical level (as a sibling).

RISK

Why GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK is rated Medium

GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK creates new tasks in Google Tasks, which is a reversible write operation. Tasks can be created, read, and deleted without permanent consequences or financial impact. The tool does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or trigger destructive operations. A misdirected insertion of tasks has minimal blast radius—tasks can be manually or programmatically removed.

From the tool's definition Creates a new task in a given tasklist_id, optionally as a subtask of an existing task_parent or positioned after an existing task_previous sibling.

GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK Rate-limited

GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
