Creates a task on a property.

Breezeway MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/breezeway.md

MCP tool: `breezeway_write → create_task`

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

Returns the new task ID, status and assignees. A task from a template carries the template's checklist. Assigned people can be notified depending on the account's draft and commit settings. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `property_id` | integer | yes | Breezeway property ID. |
| `name` | string | yes | Task name. |
| `department` | string | no | One of housekeeping, inspection, maintenance, safety. |
| `priority` | string | no | One of urgent, high, normal, low, watch. |
| `description` | string | no | Text shown on the task. |
| `template_id` | integer | no | Template ID from list_templates. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
