create_tasks_batch

Bulk-create multiple tasks in one request to a Kanboard project. Accepts 1-100 tasks, returns lists of created and failed tasks for partial failure handling.

Instructions

Bulk-create tasks in a Kanboard project using a single JSON-RPC batch request. Accepts 1–100 tasks per call. Non-atomic: partial failure is possible — check failed[] for per-task errors. Optional fields (column_id, owner_id, category_id, swimlane_id) fall back to .kanboard.yaml defaults when not provided. Returns { created: [...], failed: [...] } — never throws on partial failure.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idNoKanboard project id (overrides .kanboard.yaml).
project_identifierNoKanboard project identifier string (overrides .kanboard.yaml).
tasksYesArray of task creation inputs. 1..100 items. Non-atomic: partial failure possible. Inspect failed[] for per-task errors.
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided; description fully covers non-atomic behavior, partial failure, fallback defaults, and return structure, leaving no hidden behaviors.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four concise sentences with front-loaded purpose. No redundancy; every sentence provides unique information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, description compensates by detailing return format {created, failed} and error handling. Covers batch size, atomicity, and fallbacks completely.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers all 3 parameters with 100% description coverage. Description adds value by noting fallback defaults for specific fields and batch size limits, exceeding baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states bulk-creation of tasks in Kanboard via batch request, distinguishing from single-task 'create_task' sibling. Verb 'Bulk-create' and resource 'tasks' are specific.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Implies use for multiple tasks (1-100 per call), notes partial failure and fallback defaults. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' but sibling create_task provides clear alternative.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
