Guidelines

  1. All responses are wrapped in a data field. Use jq '.data' to extract results.
  2. Use opt_fields query parameter to request specific fields and reduce response size.
  3. Asana uses gid (global ID) as the identifier for all resources.
  4. Pagination: if the response has next_page.uri, fetch that URL to get more results.
  5. Use <placeholder> for dynamic IDs that the user must replace (e.g., <task-gid>, <project-gid>).
  6. Write request bodies to /tmp/asana_request.json before sending.
  7. Rate limits: Asana allows ~1500 requests per minute. Back off on 429 responses.
  8. Task search supports filters like completed, assignee, projects, and text as query parameters.
