Tasks & Jobs
Find work that still needs to be planned with these tools. They are read-only: scheduling something is the job of the appointment tools.
The full set of unplanned tasks is exposed as the dimescheduler://today/open-tasks data source, not as a tool. Reading the resource is cheaper than a tool call and gives the agent standing context for the dispatcher's queue.
