- Standardized to use '/' for tool name aliases throughout document - Changed line 99 from '&' to '/' for consistency (get_document / list_documents) - Added clarifying note explaining that '/' indicates aliases (same tool, multiple names) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Changed 'get_issue_with_comments' to 'get_issue' on line 121 of docs/linear-mcp-research.md. The get_issue tool is the actual documented tool that returns comprehensive issue details including comments. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Added comprehensive parameter documentation for Linear MCP tools that were missing it: - list_my_issues: parameters for status, project, sorting, and limit - delete_issue: required issueId parameter - search_issues: detailed query and filter parameters - list_comments & create_comment: issue ID and comment body parameters - list_projects, get_project: project filtering and retrieval parameters - list_teams/get_teams, get_team, list_users, get_user: team and user management parameters - get_workflow_states/list_issue_statuses, get_issue_status, list_issue_labels: workflow parameters - get_document/list_documents, search_documentation: documentation access parameters Also added documentation completeness note explaining approach and referencing Linear's official docs.
