WHAT IT DOES

What refresh_task_summary does on SQLite Project Memory MCP

AI agents invoke refresh_task_summary to trigger actions in SQLite Project Memory MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
