Answer

Tool call	What it did
task_add	Adds both tasks with estimates and due dates
board	Shows the board

The Atlas board with both tasks, their estimates and due dates.

Example from "Plan the week". Invented names, real math from the tools.

Keep a simple board for each project: backlog, to do, doing, review and done. Add tasks with due dates, priorities and estimates, log real time against them, and ask for the weekly review. With the local install, the data stays on your machine.

Tool	What it does
`board`	Show one board column by column: tasks, estimate, actual and overdue count in each, then the board totals and the estimate still open.
`columns_set`	Replace one board's columns, in order, with 2 to 12 unique names.
`overdue`	List every task whose due day is already past, across all boards, oldest first, in the task_list table.
`project_delete`	Delete an empty board and give its free-tier slot back.
`project_list`	List every board with its task-id prefix, open and done counts, estimate still open and overdue count, plus free-tier use (3 boards, 200 open tasks).
`task_add`	Add one task to a board and return its id, board and column.
`task_delete`	Delete one task by id, permanently; the id is never reused.
`task_done`	Mark one task finished: it moves to the board's done column (named done, else the last) and is stamped, leaving task_list and the open counts.
`task_list`	List tasks as a table of id, project, column, title, priority, due, estimate, actual and tags, sorted by due date, with the total estimate.
`task_log_time`	Add real minutes worked to one task so estimate and actual can be compared.
`task_move`	Move one task to another column of its own board and report the old and new column.
`task_search`	Find tasks whose id, title, notes or tags contain the query, across every board, finished ones included.
`task_start_timer`	Return the exact arguments to pass to the time-tracker's timer_start for one task, and record the link here.
`task_update`	Change a task by id: only the fields you pass are touched.
`weekly_review`	Compare done against planned for one ISO week per project: how many were due, how many of those are finished, how many were completed, and estimate against actual minutes.

Questions

Does it sync with Trello or Jira?

No. It's a standalone board. On the local install it lives in a file on your machine.

Can it start a timer?

task_start_timer returns the arguments for the time tracker's timer and records the link. It doesn't start a timer on its own.
