Google Tasks

Google task manager for task lists, to-dos, due dates, notes, completion status, and account task activity.

Handles task-list maintenance, task creation, deletion, completion tracking, and updates to Google Tasks activity.

Example Use Cases

These are example ways Snow can use Google Tasks when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.

Batch Execute Google Tasks Operations

Executes multiple Google Tasks API operations in a single HTTP batch request and returns structured per-item results. Use this to reduce LLM tool invocations when performing bulk operations like updating many tasks, moving tasks, or deleting multiple items. Note: Each sub-request still counts toward API quota; batching primarily reduces HTTP overhead and tool call count.

Bulk Insert Tasks (Deprecated)

DEPRECATED: Use BatchExecute instead. Creates multiple tasks in a Google Tasks list in a single operation using HTTP batching. Use when you need to create many tasks efficiently (reducing round-trips compared to individual insert calls).

Clear tasks

Permanently and irreversibly clears all completed tasks from a specified Google Tasks list; this action is destructive, idempotent, and cannot be undone. Always require explicit user confirmation before invoking.

Create a task list

Creates a new task list with the specified title and returns a tasklist_id. Use the returned tasklist_id (not the title) when calling GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK or other task operations. Duplicate titles are permitted by the API, so verify existing lists before creating to avoid unintended duplicates.

Delete task

Deletes a specified task from a Google Tasks list. Deletion is permanent and irreversible — confirm with the user before executing, and consider GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK or GOOGLETASKS_MOVE_TASK as non-destructive alternatives. Both tasklist_id and task_id are required parameters. The Google Tasks API does not support deleting tasks by task_id alone — you must specify which task list contains the task. Use 'List Task Lists' to get available list IDs, then 'List Tasks' to find the task_id within that list.

Delete task list

Permanently deletes an existing Google Task list, identified by `tasklist_id`, along with all its tasks; this operation is irreversible. Require explicit user confirmation before calling; do not invoke in read-only or exploratory flows.

Get Task

Retrieve a specific Google Task. REQUIRES both `tasklist_id` and `task_id`. Tasks cannot be retrieved by ID alone - you must always specify which task list contains the task. Use this to refresh task details before display or edits rather than relying on potentially stale results from GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASKS.

Get task list

Retrieves a specific task list from the user's Google Tasks if the `tasklist_id` exists for the authenticated user.

Insert Task

Creates a new task in a given `tasklist_id`, optionally as a subtask of an existing `task_parent` or positioned after an existing `task_previous` sibling, where both `task_parent` and `task_previous` must belong to the same `tasklist_id` if specified. IMPORTANT: Date fields (due, completed) accept various formats like '28 Sep 2025', '11:59 PM, 22 Sep 2025', or ISO format '2025-09-21T15:30:00Z' and will automatically convert them to RFC3339 format required by the API. Not idempotent — repeated calls with identical parameters create duplicate tasks; track returned task IDs to avoid duplication. High-volume inserts may trigger 403 rateLimitExceeded or 429; apply exponential backoff.

List All Tasks Across All Lists

Tool to list all tasks across all of the user's task lists with optional filters. Use when the agent needs to see all tasks without knowing which list to query first. Each returned task is annotated with its tasklist_id and tasklist_title for context.

Triggers

These are the trigger events currently available for Google Tasks.

New Task Created

Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.

New Task List Created

Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected.

Task Details Changed

Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.

Task List Changed

Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires when changes are detected.

Task Updated

Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.
