async assignCurrentUserAsOwner(storyPublicId: number) { const story = await this.client.getStory(storyPublicId); if (!story) throw new Error(`Failed to retrieve Shortcut story with public ID: ${storyPublicId}`); const currentUser = await this.client.getCurrentUser(); if (!currentUser) throw new Error("Failed to retrieve current user"); if (story.owner_ids.includes(currentUser.id)) return this.toResult(`Current user is already an owner of story sc-${storyPublicId}`); await this.client.updateStory(storyPublicId, { owner_ids: story.owner_ids.concat([currentUser.id]), }); return this.toResult(`Assigned current user as owner of story sc-${storyPublicId}`); } - src/tools/stories.ts:209-210 (schema)Zod input schema defining the required storyPublicId parameter.
