• src/servicenow_mcp/tools/scrum_task_tools.py:166-262 (handler)

  The handler function implementing the create_scrum_task tool. It validates input parameters using Pydantic, prepares the data, and makes a POST request to the ServiceNow rm_scrum_task table API to create the task.

• src/servicenow_mcp/utils/tool_utils.py:902-908 (registration)

  Registration of the create_scrum_task tool in the central tool_definitions dictionary used by the MCP server to expose the tool.

• src/servicenow_mcp/utils/tool_utils.py:316-325 (registration)

  Import of the create_scrum_task handler and CreateScrumTaskParams schema into tool_utils.py, aliased for use in tool registration.
  from servicenow_mcp.tools.scrum_task_tools import ( CreateScrumTaskParams, UpdateScrumTaskParams, ListScrumTasksParams, ) from servicenow_mcp.tools.scrum_task_tools import ( create_scrum_task as create_scrum_task_tool, update_scrum_task as update_scrum_task_tool, list_scrum_tasks as list_scrum_tasks_tool, )
• src/servicenow_mcp/tools/__init__.py:105-109 (registration)

  Re-export of create_scrum_task from scrum_task_tools.py in the tools package __init__ for easy access.
