The insight and summary tools are higher-level reporting helpers for AI agents. Instead of returning one project or one task, they return grouped counts, portfolio snapshots, or current-person task insights that help an assistant answer broader operational questions.

These tools are most helpful when the user is asking a broader question rather than requesting a specific edit. They help an assistant answer things like "what is overloaded, what is overdue, what recently completed, and how is work distributed?" without manually walking record by record.

• GetProjectInsights returns a right-now portfolio snapshot such as active, overdue, blocked, recently completed, oldest open, and upcoming due projects.
• GetMyTaskInsights focuses on the current person's assigned tasks, including active, overdue, due-this-week, blocked, and next-upcoming counts or examples.
• GetProjectSummary and GetTaskSummary return grouped counts by dimension so an agent can answer questions like how work breaks down by state, project type, category, project, or assignee.
• These tools are best for open-ended questions and executive snapshots, while the Lookup/List/Get tools are better for drilling into specific records before editing them.

A helpful way to think about this group is that the Lookup/List/Get tools answer questions about specific records, while the tools on this page answer questions about patterns across many records. They are often the best starting point when an assistant needs to summarize the current situation before deciding what to inspect more closely.
