Get a list of tasks from Motion
AI agents call getTasks to retrieve information from Example Next Js 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 or queries task data from Motion without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a pure read operation that returns information to the caller. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could retrieve tasks it shouldn't see, but cannot alter or destroy data through this tool alone.
