# Google Tasks

> List task lists and create, update, complete, and delete Google Tasks via OAuth

The **Google Tasks** toolkit lets agents list task lists and tasks, get a task, create and update tasks, mark tasks complete, and delete tasks. Authentication is **per-user OAuth** — each user connects their own Google account.

Add it on the agent **Toolkits** tab. The first use prompts the user to connect Google if they have not already. Tasks shares the Google Workspace OAuth connection with Gmail, Drive, Docs, and related Google toolkits.

## Prerequisites

* A Google account with Google Tasks
* An agent you can edit
* Google OAuth configured for your organization (admin)
* Users who will chat with the agent must complete the Google OAuth connect flow when prompted

## Setup

1. Open the agent → **Toolkits** → add **Google Tasks**.
2. Save the agent. In **Chat**, connect Google when prompted.
3. `@`-mention Tasks tools in the personality prompt for personal task management.

## Available tools

| Tool                | Description                                                                       |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **List Task Lists** | Lists the user’s task lists.                                                      |
| **List Tasks**      | Lists tasks in a list (use `@default` for the default list).                      |
| **Get Task**        | Returns a single task.                                                            |
| **Create Task**     | Creates a task (optional due date in RFC 3339; time is ignored by the Tasks API). |
| **Update Task**     | Updates an existing task.                                                         |
| **Complete Task**   | Marks a task complete.                                                            |
| **Delete Task**     | Deletes a task.                                                                   |

## Use cases

* Capture action items from a meeting into Google Tasks
* List open tasks for today or a specific list
* Complete or update tasks after follow-up in chat

## Tips

* Use `@default` when you mean the user’s default task list.
* Due dates are date-oriented — the Tasks API ignores time-of-day.
* Access is limited to the **connected Google user’s** task lists.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom                    | What to check                                                            |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Google OAuth not connected | Complete the Google connect prompt; confirm Tasks scope                  |
| Empty task list            | Confirm list ID (`@default` vs a specific list from **List Task Lists**) |
| Create/update fails        | Reconnect Google; confirm Tasks API access for the account               |
