Task scope use cases
Use the Task scope when the assistant needs only that boundary of work.
When task scope is the right choice
Use this scope when the entire requested outcome fits inside one task, its comments, linked artifacts, and task-enabled external mcp execution.
Supported work
Keep one task current
Read, update, or delete the selected task without exposing the rest of the project.
“Update this task with the implementation summary and move the next action into its description.”
Coordinate task discussion
Read and write comments attached to the selected task.
“Summarize the comments on this task, then add a concise handoff note for the reviewer.”
Run an enabled external tool
Invoke an external MCP tool only when that server is enabled for this task.
“Use the enabled task tool to inspect the deployment output, then add the result to this task.”
