Implementation Reference
- The MCP tool handler function for 'update_optimization'. Decorated with @mcp.tool(), it handles updating the name of an optimization job by making an authenticated POST request to the QuantConnect API endpoint 'optimizations/update'.
@mcp.tool() async def update_optimization( optimization_id: str, name: str ) -> Dict[str, Any]: """ Update the name of an optimization.
