Get reminders with optional filtering by list, completion status, priority, date range, or search text.
AI agents call get_reminders to retrieve information from Reminders 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 queries reminder data from the macOS Reminders app with filtering capabilities. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The filtering parameters (list, completion status, priority, date range, search text) are all read-only queries. Misuse poses minimal risk as an AI agent cannot cause harm by simply reading reminder data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_reminders' and description 'Get reminders with optional filtering' indicates data retrieval only. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
