Tasks are ordered by their position in the parent's tasks array. Use insertIndex to specify position (defaults to end).
After task creation, you MUST call the
startTasktool to begin processing the task.When the task is completed, call the
completeTasktool with the task ID and resolution details.If the following task is assigned, execute it by calling the
startTasktool again.Repeat this cycle until all tasks are completed.
