Use Cases

​
Action Use Cases

When you ask CORE to perform Google Tasks tasks, it uses MCP tools to execute your requests:
Scenario: Create and organize multiple task lists for different projects
"Create a new task list called 'Q1 2026 Goals' and add three tasks
with due dates for next month"
The agent will use create_task_list to create a new list, then create_task for each task with appropriate due dates.
Scenario: Build and maintain task hierarchies with parent-child relationships
"Create a parent task 'Launch new feature' and add three subtasks
for design, development, and testing"
The agent will:
  1. Use create_task to create the parent task
  2. Use create_task with the parent parameter for each subtask
  3. Use move_task to reorganize if needed
Scenario: Keep tasks organized with flexible filtering
"Show me all incomplete tasks due this week across all my task lists"
The agent will use list_task_lists to get all lists, then list_tasks with filtering parameters (showCompleted, dueMin, dueMax) to find matching tasks.
Scenario: Maintain clean task lists by managing completed items
"Clear all completed tasks from my 'Personal' task list"
The agent will use clear_completed_tasks to remove all completed items from the specified list in one operation.
Scenario: Modify task details and status as work progresses
"Update the task 'Write documentation' to mark it as completed
and add a note about what was documented"
The agent will use update_task to modify the task status, notes, and other details as needed.

​
