Feature Request: Add lightweight task listing (names only) to ClickUp MCP #98

Problem

Currently, the get_workspace_tasks endpoint always returns full detailed task data. For large lists, this response can be extremely long and heavy, making it hard to process by an LLM (context window exceed).

Proposed Solution

Introduce an option (e.g., detail_level: "names") to return only the task names (and optionally IDs). This would allow:

  • Faster responses
  • Easier triage workflows
  • Lightweight previews without fetching full task details

Benefits

  • Improves performance and reduces token usage
  • Enables step-by-step inbox processing without overloading responses
  • Provides flexibility: users can fetch details only when needed

Example

{
  "list_ids": ["123456789"],
  "detail_level": "names"
}

Output:

[
  { "id": "abc123", "name": "Task 1" },
  { "id": "def456", "name": "Task 2" }
]
