12 of 12 tools

Documented tools (12)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

add_omnifocus_task

Create a new task.

add_project

Create a new project.

batch_add_items

Create multiple tasks and projects in one operation. Each item accepts the same fields as addomnifocustask / addproject, plus type (task or project) and optional hierarchy helpers:

batch_remove_items

Remove multiple tasks or projects in one operation. Each item takes id or name, plus itemType.

create_tag

Create a tag, optionally nested under an existing parent.

dump_database

Get the complete state of your database. Use for comprehensive analysis; prefer queryomnifocus for anything targeted.

edit_item

Edit an existing task or project. Also the way to move items — set newProjectName to move a task into a project, or to ""/"inbox" to send it to the inbox.

get_perspective_view

Get the items visible in a named perspective.

list_perspectives

List available perspectives, both built-in and custom (custom perspectives are an OmniFocus Pro feature).

list_tags

List all tags with their hierarchy, active status, and task counts.

query_omnifocus

Query tasks, projects, or folders with targeted filters — much faster and lighter than dumping the whole database. See QUERYTOOLREFERENCE.md for the full reference and QUERYTOOLEXAMPLES.md for worked examples.

remove_item

Remove a task or project.
