READ the task board — check what work already exists and its STATUS. Call this BEFORE creating a task, to avoid filing a duplicate of something already tracked. Filter by status (“open” | “closed”) and/or assignee NAME (a team member’s display name). Returns {“total”: N, “tasks”: [{task_id, title, status, assignee, spec_ref, description, updated_at, note_count, last_note_at}]}. note_count>0 means the task carries a note/decision in its log that is NOT shown here — call entherium_get_task before drawing any conclusion about that task. Needs the manage_task capability.

Access: read-only — safe to call repeatedly, changes nothing
