Action

Create a chore task by invoking call_tool() with the following parameters:

• •title: The chore title from user input
• •task_type: "chore"
• •priority: 3 (low - maintenance tasks are important but rarely urgent)

Parse the user input:

• •Split on the last occurrence of a delimiter to preserve titles containing dashes
• •Use right-split (rsplit with maxsplit=1) on - or switch to -- as delimiter
• •If a delimiter is found: title = left part, description = right part
• •If no delimiter is found: title = entire input, description = null

call_tool(
    server_name="gobby-tasks",
    tool_name="create_task",
    arguments={
        "title": "<parsed title>",
        "description": "<parsed description or null>",  # Must be null (None in Python), not omitted or empty string
        "task_type": "chore",
        "priority": 3,
        "session_id": "<session_id>"  # Required - from session context
    }
)

Note on description: When no description is provided, explicitly set the key to null (or None in Python). Do not omit the key or use an empty string.

# Correct - explicit null
{"description": None}  # Python
{"description": null}  # JSON

# Incorrect - do not use
{}                     # Omitting the key
{"description": ""}    # Empty string

After creating, confirm with the task reference (e.g., "Created chore #128: Update dependencies").
