Get Context Digest
get_context is one of the 32 MCP tools in Weft, the AI task manager you run by talking to Claude, Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT through one MCP endpoint. The workspace's live decisions and lessons, packed to a token budget, newest first — what an agent should read before starting anything non-trivial. Derived from recorded decisions rather than authored as a document, so it cannot rot: a superseded decision drops out the moment its replacement is recorded, and every line carries its date. Scope it to a project or a task to narrow it; lines that do not fit the budget are counted, never silently hidden.
Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.
Arguments
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| project | string | no | Narrow to one project — name (case-insensitive) or id. |
| taskId | uuid | no | Narrow to decisions recorded about one task. |
| budgetTokens | integer | no | How much context the caller can afford. Default 800. |
Returns
scope, budgetTokens, lines[] (one dated line per live decision), and omitted — how many did not fit.
Annotations
- read-only. The tool does not mutate server state. Safe to call automatically.
