Handler switch case for 'asana_create_project_status' that extracts parameters and delegates to AsanaClientWrapper.createProjectStatus

case "asana_create_project_status": {
  const { project_gid, ...statusData } = args;
  const response = await asanaClient.createProjectStatus(project_gid, statusData);
  return {
    content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }],
  };
}

src/asana-client-wrapper.ts:624-628 (helper)

Core implementation in AsanaClientWrapper that calls the Asana SDK ProjectStatusesApi.createProjectStatusForProject

  const body = { data };
  const response = await this.projectStatuses.createProjectStatusForProject(body, projectId);
  return response.data;
}
