**Errors and limitations**

- `connection_required`: This capability acts on your own Linear workspace, which isn't connected yet.Open connect_url, approve read and write access, then retry this run unchanged.
- `invalid_input`: Linear requires an issue id and at least one supported field to update.example: {"body":{"id":"ENG-42","input":{"priority":2}}}
