Implementation Reference
- The handler function that executes the linear_createProject tool logic. Validates input args and delegates to LinearService.createProject.
export function handleCreateProject(linearService: LinearService) { return async (args: unknown) => { try { if (!isCreateProjectArgs(args)) { throw new Error("Invalid arguments for createProject"); } return await linearService.createProject(args); } catch (error) { logError("Error creating project", error); throw error; } }; } - Input/output schema definition for the linear_createProject tool.
