Search for tasks within a specific folder by keyword and optional filters.
AI agents call quire.searchFolderTasks to retrieve information from Quire MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and filters task data based on search criteria. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no execution of external commands. The 'search' verb and 'filter' language confirm this is a retrieval operation. Severity is low because misuse would only expose existing data the user likely has access to, not enable unauthorized modifications or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'searchFolderTasks' and description 'Search for tasks within a specific folder by keyword and optional filters' indicate a query/search operation with no modification or deletion of data.
