## Description

Returns tasks from the user's personal **My Tasks** inbox — NOT a project task list. Use this when the user asks for 'my tasks', 'my task list', or 'My Tasks'. Only a workspace GID is needed; no project GID required. [See the documentation](https://developers.asana.com/reference/gettasksforusertasklist)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `workspace` | `string` | Yes | The workspace GID to retrieve the user task list from. Use the List Workspaces action to find available workspace GIDs. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `optFields` | `string[]` | No | Optional task properties to include in the response (e.g. created_at, due_on, custom_fields). Nested paths are allowed; gid is always returned. See the documentation |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | No | The maximum total number of results to return across all paginated API calls. Each page fetches up to 100 items (Asana's maximum); this cap is applied after auto-pagination completes. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "asana",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "asana-get-tasks-from-task-list",
  arguments: {
    workspace: "Workspace",
    optFields: ["Opt Fields"],
  },
})
```
