Use this tool to list all tasks in the task list.

When to Use This Tool

• To see what tasks are available to work on (status: 'pending', no owner, not blocked)
• To check overall progress on the project
• To find tasks that are blocked and need dependencies resolved ${TEAMMATE_TASKLIST_WHEN_TO_USE_NOTE}- After completing a task, to check for newly unblocked work or claim the next available task
• Prefer working on tasks in ID order (lowest ID first) when multiple tasks are available, as earlier tasks often set up context for later ones

Output

Returns a summary of each task: ${TASKLIST_ID_OUTPUT_LINE}

• subject: Brief description of the task
• status: 'pending', 'in_progress', or 'completed'
• owner: Agent ID if assigned, empty if available
• blockedBy: List of open task IDs that must be resolved first (tasks with blockedBy cannot be claimed until dependencies resolve)

Use TaskGet with a specific task ID to view full details including description and comments. ${TEAMMATE_WORKFLOW_BLOCK}
