project_idstringrequired

titlestringrequired

descriptionstringnullable

due_datestringnullable

A calendar date with no time of day, e.g. 2026-09-12.

format: date

assignee_account_idstringnullable

Who the task is waiting on. A client renders its "needs you" treatment when this matches the viewing account.

format: uuid

completed_atstringnullable

Null means the task is not complete. There is no separate boolean.

format: date-time

completed_bystringnullable

format: uuid

comment_countinteger

Number of comments on this task. Present on the project read so a list can render a count without a call per task.

format: int32

created_atstringrequired

Also the sort key: tasks come back oldest first.

format: date-time

updated_atstring

format: date-time

commentsarray<ProjectComment>required

Oldest first, so the feed reads top to bottom.

Item properties

idstringrequired

format: uuid

task_idstringrequired

format: uuid

account_idstringrequired

format: uuid

author_namestringnullable

The author's accounts.name, resolved server-side. Frequently null; render a fallback.

bodystringrequired

format: date-time

collaboratorsarray<ProjectCollaborator>required

Item properties

account_idstringrequired

format: uuid

namestringnullable

The collaborator's accounts.name. Frequently null — nothing captures a name at sign-up today — so clients must render a fallback.

400Bad request — invalid path parameter or request body.

application/json

statusstring · enumrequired

Always "error" for error responses.

Values: "error"

errorstringrequired

Human-readable error message.

messagestring

401Unauthorized — missing or invalid credentials.

Values: "error"

errorstringrequired

messagestring

Carries the message in place of error when the failure comes from the authentication layer, so a 401 raised while verifying the credential reads message and every other error reads error.

404Not found — either no project or task with this id exists, or the authenticated account is not a collaborator on it. The two cases are deliberately indistinguishable so the response cannot be used to discover which project ids are real.
