# Comment on a task (`tasks_comment`)

Adds a comment in Markdown to a task's thread.

Add a comment (Markdown) to a task's thread.

Price: $0.01 a call. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

Something about a task should be written down for the team.

## Say this to your agent

> Comment on SALE-2 that the printer needs the flyer file by Thursday noon.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Allowed values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `task` | string | yes | A task like "WEB-12", or its task_id. 1 to 20 characters. |  |  |
| `body` | string | yes | 1 to 10,000 characters. |  |  |

## Example

Written for Halverson Cycle & Repair, a bike shop with a repair workshop in Portland, Oregon.

MCP: call `tasks_comment` on the MCP server `https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/projects` with these arguments:

```json
{
  "task": "SALE-2",
  "body": "The printer needs the final PDF by Thursday at 12:00."
}
```

REST:

```bash
curl https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/tasks_comment \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CONECTO_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task": "SALE-2", "body": "The printer needs the final PDF by Thursday at 12:00."}'
```

## Response

```json
{
  "call_id": "5f0c8a2e-3b7d-4c1e-9a64-2d8e1f7b0c93",
  "tool": "tasks_comment",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "replayed": false,
  "cost_usd": "$0.01",
  "balance_usd": "$19.75",
  "result": {
    "task": "SALE-2",
    "comments": 1
  }
}
```

`result`: task: the task's number, and comments: how many it now has.
