Domain knowledge for Trello — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

Trello

Trello organizes work as Boards → Lists → Cards. All IDs are strings.

Data Model

  • Boards — top-level containers; enumerate yours or open one by id.
  • Lists — columns inside a board; cards always belong to exactly one list.
  • Cards — work items; create, update, and move them by changing their parent list id.
  • Labels — board-scoped tags applied to cards.
  • Members — humans granted access at the board level.
  • Checklists — nested task lists hanging off a card.

Gotchas

  • idList for move: A card’s list membership is its idList; change that field to move the card between columns.
  • Throughput: Trello throttles very rapid sequences of tool calls—pace multi-step workflows to avoid transient failures.
