All Tools Genesis Data Agents Use
Project Manager Tools
Create and coordinate missions and todos, manage dependencies, record progress, and organize project assets across teams and data agents.
Overview
Tool Name
Purpose
The project_manager_tools suite organizes work into missions and todos. It supports creation, assignment, dependencies, bulk operations, work recording, and asset management so projects move from plan to done with clear ownership and traceability.Key Features & Functions
Plan Missions
Create and update missions with descriptions, status, and timelines.
Track Todos
Create, assign, and update todos with rich details and statuses.
Manage Dependencies
Add or remove todo relationships to enforce execution order.
Record Progress
Log work done with outcomes for audit-ready history.
Handle Assets
Attach and manage mission assets like files, links, and git paths.
Scale With Bulk Ops
Create or delete many todos at once with optional dependency wiring.
See Data Agent Involvement
List data agents assigned to missions and todos for load visibility.
Use a short, action-oriented mission name and a precise todo title. It keeps lists scannable and status meetings fast.

Use Cases
- Managing complex data engineering projects with multiple interdependent tasks
- Coordinating team workflows with automated task assignment and progress tracking
- Building project documentation and asset libraries with organized file management
- Tracking mission progress with detailed work logs and completion metrics
- Managing dependencies between tasks to ensure proper execution sequencing
- Creating comprehensive project dashboards with data agent assignment and progress visibility
- Coordinating cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders and deliverables
Workflow/How It Works
- Create a mission with name and purpose.
- Break down work into todos and assign to data agents or people.
- Wire dependencies so prerequisites complete first.
- Record work as progress is made, attaching outputs and links.
- Manage assets at the mission level for easy retrieval.
- Scale with bulk create or delete when scope shifts.
Avoid circular dependencies. If A depends on B and B depends on A, scheduling will stall. Use
get_todo_dependencies to verify the graph before large changes.Integration Relevance
- file_manager_tools for storing specs, outputs, and evidence.
- make_baby_bot to assign specialized agents to todos.
- data_connector_tools to link data work directly to tasks.
- git_action for versioned assets and code paths.
- delegate_work to orchestrate multi-agent workflows.
- slack_tools to notify owners on status changes.
Configuration Details
- Status values must match the allowed set for reliable dashboards.
- Use
for_bot_idwhen automations act on behalf of a controller agent. - Store returned ids from create calls for subsequent updates and dependency wiring.
- Choose asset types that reflect storage location and retrieval method.
Limitations or Notes
- Deletions are permanent. Export state before bulk removals.
- Very large dependency graphs can be hard to visualize. Document key chains in the mission description.
- Bulk operations may take time on large projects. Plan during low-traffic windows.
- Data Agent assignment depends on availability and permissions.
- Asset references require valid external integrations where applicable.
Output
- Task Operations Creation confirmations, detail payloads, and status updates.
- Mission Operations Creation confirmations, status changes, and listings.
- Work Recording Timestamped entries with descriptions and results.
- History Full audit trails of changes and actors.
- Dependencies Add or remove confirmations and resolved trees.
- Bulk Ops Summaries with success and failure counts.
- Assets Created or updated records, listings, and detail views.
- Data Agents
Assignment summaries and participation metrics. - Errors Clear messages for invalid ids, status mismatches, or permission failures.
