Can an entity's currently executing AI Tasks be manually set, with a method or by writing to a class member?

Or is it more like i need to reverse the logic here, and craft a good condition for the ShouldExecute function in the AI task?

I looked at the wolf taming mod, and it seems that playing fetch is not initiated by something on the toy side acting on the entity, it's initiated by the entity side (tamed wolf's AI task) looking for a certain condition to be true: that there's a dog toy in range.

            if (dogToy == null || !dogToy.Alive || dogToy.ShouldDespawn) return false;
            if (entity.ServerPos.SquareDistanceTo(dogToy.ServerPos) > 30 * 30)
            {
                dogToy = null;
            }
            return dogToy != null;
