Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
account |
string (1–100 chars) | Yes | The X account to use: its X-Buddy account_id (from account_list) or its @handle. Ambiguous names return candidates instead of guessing. |
task_id |
string (uuid) | No | Task to change (omit to create). |
task |
object | Yes | |
expected_revision |
integer (1–∞) | No | The revision you read (optimistic locking); a newer revision fails with revision_conflict. |
Result
Returns the operation's result in the { data, meta } envelope.
Needs an idempotency key (Idempotency-Key, 8–128 characters). Retrying with the same key never repeats the action.
Versioned setting: send the expected_revision (or If-Match) you read, or the write is refused.
