case "create_issue": { const args = request.params.arguments as unknown as CreateIssueArgs; if (!args?.title || !args?.teamId) { throw new Error("Title and teamId are required"); } const issue = await linearClient.createIssue({ title: args.title, description: args.description, teamId: args.teamId, assigneeId: args.assigneeId, priority: args.priority, labelIds: args.labels, }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(issue, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:221-228 (schema)TypeScript type definition for the arguments accepted by the create_issue tool handler.
