Can I filter tasks for today using the AI?

Yes! Use the `list_active_tasks` tool and provide the `filter` parameter set to 'today'. Your agent will retrieve all tasks scheduled for the current date.

How do I add a new task to a specific project?

Use the `create_task` tool. Provide the content and the unique Project ID. You can also include a `due_string` like 'tomorrow at 10am' to set a deadline.

Is it possible to list all my labels via AI?

Absolutely. Run the `list_all_labels` query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of labels you use to categorize tasks in your account.
