Search and review tasks in Sanka.
AI agents call list_tasks to retrieve information from Sanka 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 Sanka without any side effects. It allows clients to view and search existing tasks but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes read access to task information.
