This renders the markdown inside the description, so it isn't quite the description itself. The raw view and the plain text are the bytes as they were sent.

Use this tool to list all tasks in the task list.

When to Use This Tool

To see what tasks are available to work on (status: 'pending', no owner, not blocked)
To check overall progress on the project
To find tasks that are blocked and need dependencies resolved
After completing a task, to check for newly unblocked work or claim the next available task
Prefer working on tasks in ID order (lowest ID first) when multiple tasks are available, as earlier tasks often set up context for later ones

Output

Returns a summary of each task:

id: Task identifier (use with TaskGet, TaskUpdate)
subject: Brief description of the task
status: 'pending', 'in_progress', or 'completed'
owner: Agent ID if assigned, empty if available
blockedBy: List of open task IDs that must be resolved first (tasks with blockedBy cannot be claimed until dependencies resolve)

Use TaskGet with a specific task ID to view full details including description and comments.
