Using the POST /projects/:id/repository/tags create new tag API, the call would be:

curl -X POST "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/${CI_PROJECT_ID}/repository/tags?tag_name=v1.0&ref=master&release_description='a short description'&private_token=${GITLAB_TOKEN}"

Replace CI_PROJECT_ID with your GitLab project id.

As shown in gitlab-org/gitlab issue 119136, that works for short one-line tag description only.

This creates a lightweight tag.
An annotated tag would need a &message='...' parameter.

You can see an alternative call here.

After discussion, the OP confirms:

curl -X POST "http://198.x.y.z/api/v4/projects/2345/repository/tags?tag_name=v1.0&ref=master&release_description='first%20tag'&private_token=**************"

(replacing any space with %20 in the release description) works.

it works, but showing {"tag_name":"v1.5","description":"'first tag'"},"protected":false}
Can I make this protected as true?

That would require another API call.
Example:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_tags?name=*-stable&create_access_level=30"

With:

create_access_level: Access levels allowed to create (defaults: 40, maintainer access level)
