List issues
Issues filtered by project, assignee, status and tracker, sorted as you ask.
MCP tool redmine_read → list_issues
read
Returns issues with subject, tracker, status, priority, assignee and dates. By default only open issues come back; set status to all or closed to change that. Pages hold up to 100 issues, so read total_count and pass offset for the next page. The project filter takes the numeric project ID.
