Linear (API key) ACTION

Create Initiative Update

Post a status update on a Linear initiative. Use List Initiatives first to obtain the initiative ID. Updates appear in the initiative's activity feed and can include a health status. Example: initiativeId: "b2c3d4e5-0000-0000-0000-000000000002", body: "Two projects completed; on track for Q4.", health: "onTrack" → returns {success: true, initiativeUpdate: {id: "iu_01xyz"}}. See the documentation.
