Unitask Agent

Start finishing tasks instead of just organizing them: connect your OpenClaw agent to Unitask (unitask.app) to manage and do your tasks with secure prioritization, tags, time blocks and more.

Purpose

This skill lets an AI agent safely manage a user's Unitask account using scoped API tokens. Unitask is in public beta. Anyone can sign up at https://unitask.app.

Supported operations:

• List tasks
• Get one task
• Create task
• Update task fields (update_task)
• Update status (update_task_status)
• Move subtask to a different parent (move_subtask)
• Merge parent tasks (merge_parent_tasks)
• List/create/update/delete tags
• Add/remove tags on tasks
• Delete task (soft delete)
• Read/update settings (optional one-time setup)
• Plan day time blocks (preview/apply)

Subtasks:

• Subtasks are tasks with a parent_id.
• Create a subtask via create_task with parent_id=<parent id>.

Required setup

1. User signs up (public beta) at https://unitask.app if they do not already have an account.
2. User creates a Unitask API token from Unitask -> Dashboard -> Settings -> API.
3. User stores it in their agent/app secret store as: UNITASK_API_KEY=<token>.

Never ask users to paste full tokens in chat logs.

Scope model

• read: required for read/list actions.
• write: required for create/update/move/merge actions.
• delete: required for delete actions.
• If write or delete is granted, read must also be granted.

Hosted MCP (unitask.app, HTTPS)

Endpoint:

• https://unitask.app/api/mcp

Auth header (recommended):

• Authorization: Bearer <UNITASK_API_KEY>

MCP tools

• list_tasks — filter by status (todo|done), limit, offset, parent_id, tag_id
  • advanced filters: view (today|upcoming), tz, window_days, due_from, due_to, start_from, start_to, sort_by, sort_dir
• get_task — fetch one task
• create_task — create task/subtask
• update_task — full mutable field update
• update_task_status — status-only helper
• move_subtask — move a subtask between parents (dry_run default true)
• merge_parent_tasks — merge parent trees (dry_run default true)
• delete_task — soft-delete task + descendants
• list_tags — list available tags
• get_tag — fetch one tag
• create_tag — create a tag
• update_tag — edit tag name/color/deleted
• delete_tag — soft-delete tag
• add_task_tag — attach tag to task
• remove_task_tag — detach tag from task
• get_settings — get user settings
• update_settings — update settings/quiz
• plan_day_timeblocks — preview/apply schedule

Safety rules

• Use smallest required scope for the requested action.
• For public beta, keep least-privilege scopes by workflow: read, write, delete.
• Confirm destructive actions (delete) unless user explicitly asks to proceed.
• Prefer status=done over delete when intent is completion.
• For move_subtask and merge_parent_tasks, keep dry_run=true first and apply only after confirmation.
