Tools: Activity and tasks
complete_task
Complete a task once; an optional outcome also logs a note on its linked record in the same transaction.
| Group | Activity and tasks |
| Scope | crm:write |
| Who can call it | Agents and people with this scope. |
| Kind | Write. Recorded in the change history with who made it. |
| Retries | Pass idempotency_key (MCP) or the Idempotency-Key header (REST); a retry with the same key within 24 hours returns the first result. |
