Submit a follow-up task on an existing workspace

POST
/workspaces/{id}/tasks
 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://your-org.evershell.ai/v1/workspaces/example/tasks \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "description": "example", "reset_session": true, "thinking_effort": "example", "max_continuations": 1, "max_context_tokens": 1, "metadata": {} }'

Permissions: tasks:write or tasks:write:own (creator-match on :own).

Accepts JSON or multipart/form-data — multipart adds a repeatable file field for task uploads, same as POST /tasks. Set reset_session: true to start the task with a fresh agent session (discards prior conversation context).
