Can my AI automatically gather details of a specific card by its ID?

Yes! Use the `get_card` tool with exactly the Card ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, assignee fields, standard labels, and precise notes within seconds.

How do I move a card from 'To Do' to 'Done' seamlessly?

Simply ask the agent to run the `move_card` command. Providing the Card ID and the destination List ID (often found with `list_lists` first). It will transition your task across phases transparently.

Does the integration allow completely destructive operations like deleting my entire board?

No. The agent is limited to safe mutations related to Cards—creating, updating, and removing cards. It does not contain tools to delete large configurations like Boards or Columns, protecting your company’s structure.
