Implementation Reference
- plane_mcp/tools/cycles.py:212-233 (handler)The handler function for the 'remove_work_item_from_cycle' tool. Decorated with @mcp.tool(), it removes a work item from a cycle by calling the Plane client's cycles.remove_work_item method with workspace_slug, project_id, cycle_id, and work_item_id.
