Done Bear

Update fields on one task (`task`) or on several at once (`tasks`, max 50). Only the provided fields are changed; omitted fields are left untouched. To remove a value, list the field in `clear` (e.g. `clear: ["deadline"]`). Notes replace the existing notes (no append). `assignee` assigns the task; clear it to unassign. `add_labels` and `remove_labels` change which labels are on it. Editing several tasks applies the same changes to every one of them and cannot be undone in one call, so confirm the list with the user first. For status changes use task_done, task_reopen or task_archive, and for checklist items use the available checklist tools; this tool does not change either.

task_edit

Replace the text of your own task comment. Only its author may edit it, and it is marked edited. Read the existing comment first and confirm the replacement with the user.

comment_edit

Get a snapshot of the current workspace: task counts per view, recent open tasks, and every project, label, team and member. This is the tool that answers what is in the workspace and resolves a project, label, team or member by name — there is no separate list tool for those. Use it for that, not as a warm-up before every turn. For tasks themselves use task_list (a view), search (by words) or task_show (one task): the recent tasks here are only the latest few.

get_context

Join a project to put it in the caller's Your projects sidebar list. Joining an existing membership leaves it unchanged. Read projects with get_context.

project_join

Leave a project and remove it from the caller's Your projects sidebar list. Leaving a private project also gives up access; an existing member must add the caller back. An absent membership stays absent. Read projects with get_context.

project_leave

List tasks in the workspace, most recently updated first. Completed tasks are ordered by completion time, newest first. Filter by view (inbox, today, upcoming, anytime, someday, logbook, trash) and/or state (open, done, archived, all); `search` ranks matches within that filter. `view: "logbook"` reads completed tasks and `view: "trash"` archived ones, whatever `state` says. Returns up to `limit` tasks; `hasMore` is true when more matched than were returned, and passing `nextCursor` back as `cursor` reads the next page. To find a task by its words across every view use search instead, and task_show for one task's checklist, comments and files.

task_list

Read Done Bear's guide for one topic: what the data means, how it relates to the rest of the product, and how to use it well. Load a topic before doing that kind of work for the first time in a session. - `views`: Placing a task in Inbox/Today/Upcoming/Anytime/Someday, reading a view, or working out why Today looks wrong. - `dates`: Setting or clearing a due date, or deciding between a deadline and a start date. - `editing`: Changing a task's fields, clearing a value, appending to notes, or moving a task between projects. - `bulk`: Completing, moving, or editing more than one task at a time, or sweeping a whole view. - `checklists`: Adding sub-steps to a task, building a list inside a task, or ticking items off. - `comments`: Discussing a task with teammates: reading its thread, replying, or correcting a comment. - `projects`: Deciding where a task belongs, creating a project or label, changing a project's status, or joining/leaving a project. - `search`: Looking a task up, listing a view, paging through results, or orienting in a new workspace. - `workspaces`: Working across multiple workspaces, hitting a permission or rate-limit error, or making retries safe. - `agents`: Starting work in a Done Bear workspace for the first time. - `importing`: The user asks how to move their tasks in from Todoist, Things, Trello or a CSV.

guide

Read the task-agent identity bound to this connection's existing API key in one explicit workspace. Returns only key metadata and the exact agent UUID or null; an inactive agent includes disabledAt. Requires an API-key connection and current workspace membership. Does not register, assign or start any task. Use this before task_agent_register and retain key.id as expected_key_id.

task_agent_get

Explicitly register one assignable task agent for this connection's existing key in one workspace, after the user approves that durable binding. Requires a write-scoped API key restricted to exactly this workspace and an owner/admin membership. Read task_agent_get first and pass its key.id as expected_key_id. Same key/workspace/name retries return the same UUID; conflicting or inactive bindings fail without takeover or reactivation. Creates no key, changes no scope, and does not assign/import/start tasks.

task_agent_register

Delete a checklist item from a task. Read item ids and state with task_show before choosing the item to remove.

checklist_remove

Delete an attachment from a task. Read the files with task_show and include: ["attachments"], and confirm the affected attachment with the user before deleting it.

attachment_remove

Permanently delete a task comment for the workspace. Comments have no Trash. Confirm the affected comment with the user before removing it.

comment_remove

Reopen a completed task, or several at once with `tasks` (max 50). Each returns to its previous view.

task_reopen

Search tasks across the workspace. Ranked lexical search over title and description: exact and prefix matches rank first, then word-boundary, substring, and fuzzy matches, with recency and status factored in. Multi-word queries match in any order. Searches every state by default, completed and archived included. Use this when the user names a task by its words; use task_list to browse a view (Today, Inbox, …) and task_show once you have the task number.

search

Get full details for a single task: its fields, labels and checklist items, by workspace-scoped task number. Add `include` for the parts that cost extra reads: `["comments"]` for the discussion thread (oldest first, with author and whether each was edited) and `["attachments"]` for the files on it, each with a short-lived signed URL.
