WHAT IT DOES

What todoist_complete_task does on UnClick

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`task_id`	string	Yes	Task id to close
`api_token`	string	Yes	Todoist API token

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why todoist_complete_task is rated Medium

Completing a task is a reversible write operation that changes data state. While it modifies a task record, the action can be undone (task can be reopened), distinguishing it from destructive operations. The blast radius is medium because inadvertent completion of tasks could disrupt user workflows, but the operation remains non-destructive and the effect is localized to a single task or small set of tasks.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'complete_task' and description confirms it 'Close[s] a Todoist task by id.' This modifies task state from incomplete to complete.
