Description: closes github/plan-track-agentic-toolkit#343 Summary Similar to fields and type, this PR adds the ability of suggesting a "close issue" intent, with confidence, rationale, and support for duplicate issue . Why Fixes github/plan-track-agentic-toolkit#343 What changed Rewrote the granular update_issue_state tool as a standalone function (off the issueUpdateTool helper) added four new optional params: rationale, confidence, is_suggestion, and duplicate_of When intent params are provided, the tool sends the state as an object {"state": {"value": "closed", ...}} to the REST API instead of a plain string duplicate_of accepts an issue number and resolves it to a DB id before sending duplicate_issue_id in the request body. Suggestion closes as duplicate require duplicate_of. Direct closes do not. MCP impact No tool or API changes Tool schema or behavior changed New tool added Prompts tested (tool changes only) Security / limits No security or limits impact Auth / permissions considered Data exposure, filtering, or token/size limits considered Tool renaming I am renaming tools as part of this PR (e.g. a part of a consolidation effort) I have added the new tool aliases in deprecated_tool_aliases.go I am not renaming tools as part of this PR Note: if you're renaming tools, you must add the tool aliases. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the official docs. Lint & tests Linted locally with ./script/lint Tested locally with ./script/test Docs Not needed Updated (README / docs / examples)
