What Claude Code can do in Google Tasks

7 operations. Read looks things up and changes nothing. Write changes Google Tasks and runs only when that tool is enabled.

Read3 operations

Read tasks

  • google_tasks_list_tasklistsList the task lists enabled for you in ApexGenius.
  • google_tasks_list_tasksList the tasks in an enabled list.
  • google_tasks_get_taskRead one task: title, notes, due date, status and when it was finished.

Write4 operations

Changes Google Tasks. Runs only when enabled.

Add and update

  • google_tasks_create_taskAdd a task to an enabled list.
  • google_tasks_update_taskChange a task’s title, notes, due date or status. Fields you leave out stay as they are.
  • google_tasks_create_tasklistCreate a task list and add it to your enabled lists.

Full API

  • google_tasks_requestCall any Google Tasks API endpoint for an enabled list, including moving and deleting tasks.

You choose what Claude Code can use

When you approve Claude Code, pick Full access, Read only, or Custom. Read only allows the Read operations and nothing else. Custom picks apps and tools one by one.

Limits in Google Tasks

  • · Only the task lists you enable can be reached, within the Google account’s own access.
  • · Adding, changing and finishing tasks use the access Google granted to that account.
  • · Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.
  • · Disconnecting stops future access. It does not undo a task change.

Questions people ask first

How do I connect Google Tasks?

Open Google Tasks in ApexGenius Connections, choose Connect, sign in with the Google account that holds your tasks, and enable the task lists you want.

Which task lists can my AI reach?

Only the lists you enable in ApexGenius. A new list your AI creates is added to that list.

Can my AI add and finish tasks?

Yes. Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Can my AI delete tasks?

Only through the full API tool, which is marked destructive. Turn it off unless you need it.

Can I start with read-only access?

Yes. Choose Read only when you add your AI agent, and the add and change tools never reach its tool list.
