Create a work order
Adds a new work order at a unit, building or rentable item.
MCP tool resman_write → create_work_order
write Confirm
Returns the new work order id and its number. The work order shows in ResMan at once, and a resident who reported it can follow its progress. ResMan sets the due date from your account settings when you give none. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
