What this API does

Patches a task's title, notes, due date or status. Setting status to completed completes it; setting needsAction reopens it. It never deletes or reorders the task. Always one $0.0050 request.

Agents select this operation with tool ID google-tasks.task-update, then inspect its current executable contract before a run.
