# Get Task

> Read one optimization task in full — description, step-by-step action plan, the evidence that triggered it, and the structured content plan for content tasks.

Returns the complete task: the full description, a step-by-step action plan, the evidence (data points and affected prompts or sources) that triggered the task, and — for content tasks — a structured `contentPlan` describing the target page, template and prompts the content should cover.

Get the `taskId` from [List Tasks](/api-reference/tasks/list) (field `id`).

<ParamField path="projectId" type="string" required>The project ID</ParamField>
<ParamField path="taskId" type="string" required>The task ID (UUID) from List Tasks</ParamField>
