Add an action item
Add an action item to a call, as the plus icon on the call page does.
MCP tool fathom_video_write → add_action_item
write Confirm
Adds one item to the Action Items section of a call, marked as written by a person. The item is open and assigned to you; assigning someone else is not part of this tool. If you connected a task manager or CRM in Settings, Fathom may sync the new item there. Nothing removes an item again through Cotlet, so each add waits for your OK. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| call_id string required | string | Call ID from list_calls: the number in the call address, fathom.video/calls/{call_id}. |
| description string required | string | Text of the action item. |
