# Move a kanban task

`POST /api/boards/{boardId}/tasks/{itemId}/move`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://cnvs.app`
- URL: `https://cnvs.app/api/boards/{boardId}/tasks/{itemId}/move`
- Auth: none declared

Mirrors the MCP `move_task` tool. Moves a task into a (possibly different) column and sets its sort position within that column.

## Request body

- object
  - `column_id` string, required: Destination column id.
  - `sort` number, required: Sort position within the destination column.

## Response `200`

Moved.

- object
  - `id` string
  - `column_id` string
  - `sort` number

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid input (missing or malformed board id).
- `401`: Board is access-locked and the request did not carry a valid key. `lockMode` tells the client whether to prompt for a code or just disable write UI.
- `404`: Board does not exist or was deleted within the 30-day tombstone window.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Standard REST/MCP: 60 requests/10s/board; valid X-Import-Token infrastructure tier: 600/10s/board; browser WebSocket always 60/10s/board. REST/MCP enforcement is soft per-isolate; WebSocket enforcement is strong per Durable Object.
