The tools this server listed when we connected to it, in its own words.
taskhold_begin — Start work in one call: files a new task (or takes an existing one with task_id), plans its steps, marks it in progress and starts the firsttaskhold_list — List top-level tasks, one line each, grouped by status. Pass project to see one repo's work. Each line has status, title, steps done, progretaskhold_get — Get one task with its full description, steps (subtasks), progress, labels and the latest notes. Returns status, priority, project, the numbtaskhold_get_current — Get the task in progress (in this project when you pass project), with its steps and the next one to do. Call this at the start of a sessiontaskhold_search — Search tasks and steps by text in the title or description (case-insensitive, up to 100 tasks scanned). Returns matching lines grouped by sttaskhold_create — File work for later: a bug, a refactor, a follow-up you aren't doing now (it lands in To Do). To file and start work at once, use taskhold_btaskhold_plan — Add ordered steps (subtasks) to a task so the person sees a checklist; the progress bar fills as steps finish. taskhold_begin already does ttaskhold_progress — Move the person's progress bar during a long step or a task without steps: percent, or current and total (e.g. 12 of 40 files), plus a shorttaskhold_create_from_todo — Create a task from a TODO comment in code, keeping the file path and line number (label todo-from-code plus any labels you pass; priority astaskhold_start — Mark a task or step in progress when you begin it. Starting a step also starts its task. For new work, taskhold_begin files, plans and starttaskhold_complete — Mark a task or step done, with a summary of what you did and, optionally, a structured outcome: files changed (with +/- line counts), checkstaskhold_block — Mark a task (or step) blocked when you can't continue without the person (a decision, missing info, access). Returns the question and the extaskhold_unblock — Move a blocked task back to todo once the blocker is resolved (taskhold_start resumes it directly). Returns the task with status todo. A tastaskhold_release — Put unfinished work back in To Do, with a note, when you stop and nobody has to answer (e.g. waiting on a captcha). Its steps go too, your ltaskhold_update — Update a task's title, description, priority or project. Only fields you pass change; status goes through taskhold_start, taskhold_complete,taskhold_add_note — Add a note to a task: findings, decisions, what you tried. The person reads these. Notes are append-only and shown oldest first (taskhold_getaskhold_set_priority — Change a task's priority. Returns the task title and new priority; an unknown task_id fails with "Task not found".taskhold_updates — What the person changed since you last looked: replies (notes), new tasks, priority changes, unblocks. Call when you resume, between steps, taskhold_list_projects — List projects with their open work, one line each. You rarely need this: every tool takes project as a name. Each line has the name, open cotaskhold_create_project — Create a project (a group of tasks, usually one per repo). Optional: any tool that takes project creates it on first use. Returns the existitaskhold_update_project — Change a project's name, description or color. Only fields you pass change. Returns the project as it is now. Fails on an unknown project (itaskhold_list_labels — List the account's labels, one name per line. Labels are created by passing them to taskhold_create or taskhold_begin.taskhold_get_summary — Task counts by status, priority and who added them (human or agent). Returns the total and one list per grouping; counts top-level tasks onlNot tested by KitScout yet. When our harness runs it, pros, cons and the tasks we tried appear here, with the date and evidence.
