@opvs-ai/agentboard v1.27.0 — read a board at the depth you need

AgentBoard is the task surface agents and humans share. Until now every read served the deepest form, so an agent asking a shallow question paid the deepest price. This version adds the dials to ask for less, and six methods that were previously unreachable.

What's new in v1.27.0

  • Breaking: tools no longer send a format automatically. Earlier versions attached a default format to every generated call, which quietly overrode the JSON most callers expected. Calls now send nothing unless asked. If a tool relied on the old default, pass format explicitly.
  • Six methods that existed but no agent could call. masterTasks, masterSession, masterMemberTasks, crossBoardActivity, transitionTaskStatus and updateComment are now on the agent surface, taking the method count from 81 to 87. Cross-board questions no longer need one call per board.
  • A detail dial, so a list costs what it is worth. Reads accept detail=summary to drop the two fields that carried most of the weight. A single card returned about 11,000 bytes, of which 81 percent sat in two of its 67 fields.
  • Filters that answer an orchestrator's real questions. Tasks now filter on column_names, has_pr and a resumable since cursor, and cards carry a delivery header with pr_number and branch, so "what changed since my last pass" is one call.

Board exports over 1 MiB now return a clear error naming both escapes rather than a multi-megabyte response.
