Implementation Reference
- Handler function that implements the core logic for the linear_archiveIssue tool: validates input using type guard and calls linearService.archiveIssue.
export function handleArchiveIssue(linearService: LinearService) { return async (args: unknown) => { try { if (!isArchiveIssueArgs(args)) { throw new Error("Invalid arguments for archiveIssue"); } return await linearService.archiveIssue(args.issueId); } catch (error) { logError("Error archiving issue", error); throw error; } }; } - Tool definition including input and output schemas for linear_archiveIssue.
export const archiveIssueToolDefinition: MCPToolDefinition = { name: "linear_archiveIssue", description: "Archive an issue", input_schema: { type: "object", properties: { issueId: { type: "string", description: "ID or identifier of the issue to archive (e.g., ABC-123)", }, }, required: ["issueId"], }, output_schema: { type: "object", properties: { success: { type: "boolean" }, message: { type: "string" } } } }; - src/tools/handlers/index.ts:92-92 (registration)Registration of the linear_archiveIssue tool, mapping it to the handleArchiveIssue handler function.
linear_archiveIssue: handleArchiveIssue(linearService), - src/tools/type-guards.ts:321-330 (helper)Type guard function used in the handler to validate the input arguments for linear_archiveIssue.
export function isArchiveIssueArgs(args: unknown): args is { issueId: string; } { return ( typeof args === "object" && args !== null && "issueId" in args && typeof (args as { issueId: string }).issueId === "string" ); }
