Implementation Reference
- The handler function that implements the core logic for the linear_setIssuePriority tool. It performs input validation using a type guard and calls the LinearService to update the issue's priority.
/** * Handler for setting issue priority */ export function handleSetIssuePriority(linearService: LinearService) { return async (args: unknown) => { try { if (!isSetIssuePriorityArgs(args)) { throw new Error("Invalid arguments for setIssuePriority"); } return await linearService.setIssuePriority(args.issueId, args.priority); } catch (error) { logError("Error setting issue priority", error); throw error; } }; } - The schema definition for the linear_setIssuePriority tool, specifying input parameters (issueId and priority) and output structure.
