Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Delega MCP Tools (44)
list_tasks
List tasks from Delega. Visibility depends on your role: workers see tasks they created, were assigned, completed, or claimed; coordinators and admins see all account tasks — including other agents' work, so act only on tasks assigned to you or unowned ones you claim, and coordinate on teammates' tasks via add_comment. Optionally filtered by project, label, due date, or completion status. To resume work at the start of a session, call with completed:false, then use get_task_context on your tasks to recover prior decisions and state instead of starting from zero.
get_task
Get full details of a specific task including subtasks
link_task
Attach a branch, commit, pull request, or URL link to a task. Use this when work in a repo, PR, or external artifact should travel with the task.
list_task_links
List branch, commit, pull request, and URL links attached to a task.
create_task
