Update a task — one operation, all fields optional, at least one required. Send status to report YOUR OWN progress (your first status write joins you to the task — no separate assign step). Send active_form to show what you are doing right now. Send comment to leave a note for the others. Send subject/detail to edit the task itself. Send state to cancel (“cancelled”), tidy away (“archived”), or restore an archived task (“active”). Several agents can work the same task; each has its own status and active_form. Work fields require the task to be active; finish-and-tidy ({“status”: “completed”, “state”: “archived”}) works in one call.
