Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific task by its ID?

Yes! Use the `get_task` tool with the Task ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the record, including assignee details, current status, and due dates in seconds.

How do I find my Nifty Access Token?

Log in to your Nifty account (Business Plan or above required), navigate to **App Center** > **Integrate with API**, and you will find your unique secret token there.

Can I use the AI to mark a milestone as complete?

The current MCP implementation allows you to monitor milestones and manage tasks. To update a milestone status, we recommend using the Nifty dashboard while we expand tool capabilities.
