Get a task

Fetches a single task by short id, scoped to the credential's organization. A short id from another organization (or an unknown one) answers 404 `resource_not_found` — no cross-org existence oracle.

Create a task POST

Creates a task in the credential's organization, owned by the credential's user — the SAME operation the external MCP `create_task` tool executes. `project_id` / `parent_task_id` additionally link the new task org-scoped (unknown ids answer 400 `validation_failed`). Supports the optional `Idempotency-Key` header for exactly-once retries.

Update a task PATCH

Partial update — the SAME operation the external MCP `update_task` tool executes: it writes a NEW immutable version carrying every omitted field (and the project links, attachments and collaborators) over from the current one. The change appears as a new entry in the task history.
