Description

Body

Add TasksOperations and TaskInstancesOperations classes to airflowctl/api/operations.py. These return the API response directly with no transformation — CLI commands are auto-generated by CommandFactory. Also unblocks Issue C (custom task commands), which reuses the same operations.

All REST API endpoints already exist.

Operations to add

On top of https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/61547, verify the existence, and please don't duplicate

Note

  • anything work with single endpoint under operation.py
  • anything needs multiple endpoint or transformation goesn ctl/commands
  • including unit and integration test under airflow-ctl-tests/

Research direction
Review the linked issue #61547 to verify existing endpoints. Look at the current airflowctl/api/operations.py file for the pattern used for other operations. Add two new classes (TasksOperations and TaskInstancesOperations) following that pattern, returning API responses directly. Include unit and integration tests in the airflow ctl tests/ directory.
