Kanban Tool is a visual project and task management platform for organizing boards, workflows, tasks, collaboration, and time tracking.

## Tools

- **Add comment** — Add a text comment to a task.
- **Change task lifecycle** — Archive, unarchive, soft-delete, or restore a task. Treat this as destructive because soft-delete hides the task from active workflows, although restore can reverse it.
- **Create subtask** — Create a subtask under an existing task or create it unattached for later use, with optional assignment and completion state.
- **Create task** — Create a task on a board with optional workflow placement, assignment, estimates, due dates, tags, external references, and previously created unattached subtasks.
- **Delete subtask** — Soft-delete a subtask and return its tombstone.
- **Get board** — Fetch a board's workflow configuration and collaborators without loading its full active task collection.
- **Get task** — Fetch a task with its comments, subtasks, attachments, changelog, dependencies, and time trackers. A deleted task is returned as a tombstone with deleted_at set.
- **List boards** — List boards available to the connected Kanban Tool user, including each board's permissions and account feature/tier context.
- **Search tasks** — Search visible tasks with Kanban Tool query syntax and return one page plus a continuation cursor. Supports board filtering and archived tasks.
- **Update subtask** — Update a subtask's name, assignee, or completion state.
- **Update task** — Update a task's content, placement, assignment, estimates, dates, tags, or external references. Use CHANGE_TASK_LIFECYCLE to archive, delete, or restore it.
