How to specify Cake.Tool version on yaml task in Azure devops pipelines

Question

I have this yaml task to run a build.cake file.

- task: cake-build.cake.cake-build-task.Cake@2
  displayName: 'Build Sources'
  inputs:
    script: devops/build.cake
    target: Default
    verbosity: Normal
    arguments: '--Configuration="$(build.configuration)" --Platform="$(build.platform)" --artifactsPath="$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)"'
    

When this task executes it always installs the latest version of Cake.Tool. This a section of the pipelines logs:

2021-10-25T20:52:37.3622249Z You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnet-cake
2021-10-25T20:52:37.3622761Z Tool 'cake.tool' (version '1.3.0') was successfully installed.
2021-10-25T20:52:37.3766624Z 

In this case it installed version 1.3.0. How do I fix this version number? How do I tell it to always use version 1.0.0 for instance. I haven't find any documentation on this.

You should be able to specify version using version property

- task: cake-build.cake.cake-build-task.Cake@2
  displayName: 'Build Sources'
  inputs:
    version: 1.0.0
    script: devops/build.cake
    target: Default
    verbosity: Normal
    arguments: '--Configuration="$(build.configuration)" --Platform="$(build.platform)" --artifactsPath="$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)"'
