move_task

move_task

Relocate a task within a hierarchy by specifying a new parent task ID or moving it to the top level. Supports deep nesting and requires a valid working directory path.

Instructions

Move a task to a different parent in the hierarchy. Set newParentId to move under another task, or leave empty to move to top level. Supports unlimited nesting depth.
