Use this tool to create a new board in your monday.com account. You can specify the board's name, visibility kind (public, private, or share), an optional description, the target workspace, and one or more board owners. If no workspace is provided, the board is created in your default workspace.

A board is the primary container for organizing work in monday.com. Once created, you can add groups, columns, and items to it using the create_group, create_column, and create_item tools.
