async unassignCurrentUserAsOwner(storyPublicId: number) { const story = await this.client.getStory(storyPublicId); if (!story) throw new Error(`Failed to retrieve Shortcut story with public ID: ${storyPublicId}`); const currentUser = await this.client.getCurrentUser(); if (!currentUser) throw new Error("Failed to retrieve current user"); if (!story.owner_ids.includes(currentUser.id)) return this.toResult(`Current user is not an owner of story sc-${storyPublicId}`); await this.client.updateStory(storyPublicId, { owner_ids: story.owner_ids.filter((ownerId) => ownerId !== currentUser.id), }); return this.toResult(`Unassigned current user as owner of story sc-${storyPublicId}`); } - src/tools/stories.ts:214-221 (registration)Registers the MCP tool 'unassign-current-user-as-owner' with input schema for storyPublicId and handler reference to unassignCurrentUserAsOwner method.
