## Description

Searches tasks across all task lists using a keyword, due date, or both - at least one of Keyword or Due Date must be provided. Keyword matches against both the task title and notes. Completed and deleted tasks are excluded unless Show Completed / Show Deleted are set. Use this action to find tasks that match specific criteria without modifying them. To create, update, complete, or move tasks, use the **Create Task**, **Update Task**, **Complete Task**, or **Move Task** actions. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/workspace/tasks/reference/rest/v1/tasks/list)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | `string` | No | Searches task titles and notes for the specified keyword. |
| `due` | `string` | No | Due date of the task (as a RFC 3339 timestamp, for example 2026-07-26T00:00:00Z). Optional. The due date only records date information; the time portion of the timestamp is discarded when setting the due date. It isn't possible to read or write the time that a task is due via the API. |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | Yes | Maximum number of registers to be fetched. |
| `showCompleted` | `boolean` | No | Whether completed tasks are returned in the result. |
| `showDeleted` | `boolean` | No | Whether deleted tasks are returned in the result. |

  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(

  },
)

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: "google_tasks-search-tasks",
  arguments: {
    keyword: "Keyword",
    due: "Due",
  },
})
```
