Create task
Create a task on a ticket or project.
MCP tool accelo_write → create_task
write Confirm
Creates a task with a title against a ticket or project, and returns it with its status, which starts as Pending until the assignee accepts it. An assignee can be notified about the task. Set a due date and priority from the names Accelo shows. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
