TaskIdResolver resolves a #123/bare-123 taskId parameter to its GUID
before any lookup, across every External/ MCP tool that takes a task
id, including the batch tools' id arrays (via delegation to the
already-resolving single-entity methods) and update_task's
dependsOnTaskId (empty string still passes through unchanged as the
clear-link sentinel). An unknown number throws a clear error instead
of a silent null. McpToolDocs.TaskNumberHint tells the agent to refer
to tasks as #<number> when reporting to the user, added to the
description of get_task, list_tasks, add_task, update_task_status and
review_task.
Nullable filter/patch params across the External/ MCP tool classes (ListTasks,
UpdateTask, AddSubtask, ReviewTask, SetMyDay, SetListConfig/SetTaskConfig,
CreateList/UpdateList) lacked C# default values, so the generated tool schema
marked them required — MCP clients omitting them (the common case) failed.
Gave every such parameter a default value.
Also registered a call-tool filter (ExternalMcpExceptionFilter) on the external
MCP host that translates InvalidOperationException/ArgumentException into
McpException, since the SDK's own catch-all discards ex.Message for any other
exception type and returns a generic "An error occurred invoking 'X'." string.
Added a reflection-based schema test sweeping every [McpServerToolType] class
to guard against reintroducing a required-but-nullable parameter.
