{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate-mcp-pages.mjs — do not edit by hand. */}

Create a work item from a quick-add line (@assignee #label !priority ^date).

|                     |                      |
| ------------------- | -------------------- |
| Required permission | `work:write`         |
| Capability ID       | `workItems.quickAdd` |
| Destructive         | No                   |

## Parameters [#parameters]

| Parameter   | Type          | Required | Notes |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | ----- |
| `projectId` | string (uuid) | no       |       |
| `text`      | string        | yes      |       |

## Input schema (JSON Schema) [#input-schema-json-schema]

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "projectId": {
      "type": "string",
      "format": "uuid"
    },
    "text": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "text"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}
```

## Access control [#access-control]

A call succeeds only when the personal access token's scopes **and** the holder's role both allow `work:write` (effective permission = scope ∩ role, default-deny). The tool runs inside the token owner's organization — tenancy is never a parameter.
