Set content status
Mark a learner as not-started, started, completed or not-completed on content.
MCP tool thought_industries_write → set_content_status
write Confirm
Updates an existing learner through the bulk import with a status column, using the name already on the profile. status is not-started, started, completed or not-completed. completion_date records a date for the content, and the app accepts it only when no completion date exists for that learner and content. The change shows in the Content Actions Log as a status change. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
