Get Task History
get_task_history 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. What happened to a task, not just its current fields. Three modes: 'summary' (default, ≤500 tokens — the card, its latest receipt, counts), 'decisions' (every decision recorded about it, including verdicts and their reasons — a rework's reason survives here after a later accept overwrites the card), 'full' (the raw journal, capped at 100 events and saying so). Exists because an audit log is too chatty to read directly, and the task row only ever holds the latest verdict.
Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.
