Hi there, thanks so much for this MCP, it's been great. Here's an issue I ran into where queries for a specific section were returning ~90 tasks (the whole project) instead of the expected 4 (in a certain section).
Add support for GET /sections/{section_gid}/tasks endpoint
Problem
When trying to retrieve tasks in a specific Asana section, the only available approach is asana_search_tasks with the sections_any parameter. However, this does not reliably filter by section — it returns tasks from the entire project rather than just the specified section.
For example, querying with sections_any set to a section containing 4 tasks returns ~90 tasks from across the project.
Expected behavior
There should be a way to retrieve the tasks that belong to a specific section, equivalent to the Asana API's GET /sections/{section_gid}/tasks endpoint.
Suggested solution
Add a new tool (e.g., asana_get_tasks_for_section) that wraps the GET /sections/{section_gid}/tasks endpoint. Parameters could include:
section_id (required) — the section GIDopt_fields — optional fields to include on each taskcompleted_since — filter out completed tasks (or a simpler completed boolean)
This would complement asana_search_tasks for cases where you need the actual contents of a section rather than a cross-project search.
Reproduction
// This returns tasks from the entire project, not just the section
asana_search_tasks({
workspace: "...",
sections_any: "<section_gid>",
completed: false
})
// Returns ~90 tasks instead of the 4 actually in the section
