Move Task
move_task is one of the 32 MCP tools in Weft, the AI task manager you run by talking to Claude, Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT through one MCP endpoint. Move a task to a different column and position. Moving to a column with semantic='doing' starts cycle-time tracking; moving to semantic='done' records completion time.
Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.
Arguments
| Name | Type | Required | Description |

Annotations
- idempotent. Calling the tool twice with the same arguments has the same effect as calling it once.
