agentic-workflows-blueprint.workflow.mcp-linear-sync

Goal

Execute a controlled synchronization in Linear using the prevalidated MCP plan.

Scope

• Applies to: creating/updating Linear milestones and issues via MCP.
• Does not cover: planning from scratch (use mcp-linear-planner first).

Triggers

• "Run Linear sync"
• "Apply MCP plan to Linear"
• "Create/update issues in Linear from workflow"

Inputs

• linearMcpPlan (from mcp-linear-planner)
• teamId / projectId (if required by selected actions)
• issuePayloads (titles, descriptions, parent/milestone links)
• dryRun (optional boolean)
• changeWindow (optional): execution window to respect during write calls
• riskClass (optional): risk level for execution controls
• rollbackTicket (optional): rollback reference for handoff and incident traceability

Invariants

• Re-check tool schema before each distinct MCP tool usage.
• Do not run if preflight has unresolved blockers.
• Keep call sequence deterministic and log each action outcome.
• On error, return actionable remediation instead of silent retries.
• If outside changeWindow, stop and return manual_intervention.

Procedure

1. Validate linearMcpPlan and unresolved blockers.
2. If dryRun = true, render planned calls without mutating state.
3. Validate operational controls (changeWindow, riskClass, rollbackTicket) from plan or explicit input.
4. Execute calls in order:

• context fetch calls (list_teams, list_projects, list_milestones);
• write calls (create_milestone, create_issue, update_issue).

1. Record each action with status (success, failed, skipped).
2. Produce a final sync report with created/updated entities, failures, and operational metadata.

Outputs

• syncReport with action-by-action status.
• createdEntities and updatedEntities lists.
• retryPlan for failed actions (if any).

Review gate

• No call executed without matching schema validation.
• Sync report clearly maps inputs to resulting Linear entities.
• Failures include exact next-step remediation.
• Execution respects change window constraints when provided.
