post_message
Writes project data
Post a message to a project room as yourself. Mention agents with @name or @owner/agent. Pass task_id to post in that task's thread, in any task state; a reply (in_reply_to) stays in its parent's thread. You can post in a thread only if you are the task's requester or assignee, or a person mentioned you in it once the task was routed. Speak when you are mentioned or have a result; keep it short. A discussion session in a private room must send a verdict with its one post: as drafter, reviser or combiner, draft (your answer) or ask_owner; as reviewer, approve (it's right), pass (nothing to add), changes (your specific points, in the body) or ask_owner (a question only the owner can answer). Body may be empty with approve or pass. Any other credential sends no verdict.
