  • 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 can use

When you approve Claude, 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.

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

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.
