Google Tasks MCP capabilities
This catalog contains 15 public pages—one for every registered MCP tool in mcp-google-tasks. Each page starts with the user's task, explains the result, and states whether the call changes real data.
Use this catalog to choose a ready-made capability. Full parameter schemas and API response details remain in the technical reference.
Task lists

- Get a task list — Fetches one task list's metadata by id. Impact: read-only.
- Create a task list — Creates a new task list and returns its generated id. Impact: changes data.
- Rename a task list — Renames a task list; the tasks inside are untouched. Impact: changes data.
- Delete a task list — Permanently deletes a task list and every task in it. Impact: destructive operation.
