Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Workspace ID (team_id) required for all API calls — must be configured correctly
- ⚠ ClickUp hierarchy: Workspace > Space > Folder > List > Task — understand before querying
- ⚠ Custom fields vary by list — agents must discover field IDs per list
- ⚠ Rate limit at 100 req/min is shared across the API token — all integrations compete
- ⚠ Community MCP server — multiple ClickUp MCP servers exist with different coverage
- ⚠ Task IDs are numeric strings — don't confuse with custom task IDs (like PROJ-123)
