Conversation
Adds a new get_task MCP tool that returns a single task by ID with all fields including comments and blocked status. This allows agents to fetch detailed task info on demand rather than relying on list_tasks which returns all tasks with all comments, causing token limit issues for LLMs. Closes sirsjg#67

Problem
As reported in #67, the
list_tasksMCP response includes all task comments, causing responses to grow very large over time (222K+ characters reported). This can exceed LLM token limits.Solution
Adds a new
get_taskMCP tool that returns a single task by ID with all fields including comments and blocked status. This lets agents fetch detailed task info on demand rather than relying solely onlist_tasks.New tool
get_task— acceptstask_id(required), returns the full task object with comments and blocked status.No breaking changes
list_tasksbehavior is unchanged.Closes #67
