• src/tools/linear/update-comment.ts:53-203 (handler)

  The async handler function that implements the core logic of the 'update_comment' tool, including validation, update/delete operations via Linear client, error handling, and response formatting.

  handler: async (args: z.infer<typeof updateCommentSchema>) => {
    try {

          }],
        };
      }
