}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.
transfer_ownership
Transfer organization ownership to another member (Owner only) — a RyTask MCP tool for AI agents over the Model Context Protocol (requires the org:transfer permission).
update_notification
Mark a notification read/unread, snooze it, or archive it — a RyTask MCP tool for AI agents over the Model Context Protocol (requires the work:write permission).
