What this API does

Updates only the supplied title, description, priority, state, assignee, labels or project through a fixed GraphQL mutation. Nullable fields may be cleared; archive and delete operations are not exposed. Always one upstream request at $0.0050.

Agents select this operation with tool ID linear.issue-update, then inspect its current executable contract before a run.
