Book one or more people on a task for a time slot.

AroFlo MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/aroflo.md

MCP tool: `aroflo_write → schedule_task`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Adds one schedule to the task with each resource and the times, and returns its schedule_id. It does not check availability or clashes. The people you schedule are the ones who do the work, which is different from the person the task is assigned to. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `task_id` | string | yes | Task ID from list_tasks. |
| `resources` | string[] | yes | Names of the users to schedule. |
| `start` | string | yes | Start, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM, local time. |
| `finish` | string | no | Finish, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM, local time. |
| `note` | string | no | Note for the schedule. |
