📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds typed group iteration lookup and update tools with ID, IID, and GID support. It also extends ChangesIteration tools
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds group-iteration retrieval and updates plus a work-item detach operation, but it is not merge-ready yet: documented numeric identifiers are currently rejected, and malformed values such as "false" can be interpreted as a request to remove an iteration. The generated documentation also has smaller contract mismatches that should be corrected. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Document the required update-field constraint.
All mutable fields appear optional. The runtime rejects a request when title, description, start_date, and due_date are all omitted. State that at least one of these fields is required.

Restore the required marker for project_id.
The table shows project_id as optional, but update_work_item's underlying schema (WorkItemParamsSchema.project_id) has no .optional() modifier. This parameter is still required. Restore the ✓ in the Required column so the documentation matches the schema.

🌐 Web query:
Does zod's z.coerce.string() reject or accept a JSON number input in the same way plain z.string() does, and does it change validation behavior for numeric IDs sent as numbers?
💡 Result:
No, z.coerce.string does not reject JSON number inputs like standard z.string does; instead, it explicitly transforms them into strings [1][2]. When you use z.string, Zod expects an actual string and will reject any other input type, including numbers, with a validation error. In contrast, z.coerce.string uses the JavaScript String(input) constructor during the parsing phase to convert the provided value into a string [1][2]. For example, z.coerce.string.parse(123) will successfully return the string "123" [3][4]. This significantly changes validation behavior for numeric IDs sent as numbers: 1. Automatic Conversion: If you are receiving numeric IDs (e.g., from an API or JSON payload) and use z.coerce.string, Zod will automatically cast these numbers to strings before performing any further string-based validations (like.min,.max, or.regex) [2][5]. 2. Validation Bypass: Because the conversion happens first, a schema like z.coerce.string.min(1) will not reject a number; it will convert the number to its string representation and then validate the length of that string [4]. 3. Unexpected Results with Nullish Values: A notable side effect of this approach is how it handles null or undefined values. Because String(null) results in "null" and String(undefined) results in "undefined", z.coerce.string will successfully parse these values as strings unless you add additional logic (such as.optional or custom preprocessing) to handle them explicitly [6][7]. If you require strict validation that rejects non-string inputs (e.g., requiring a user to explicitly send an ID as a string), you should continue using z.string [2][8].

Use z.coerce.string() for group_id and iteration_id.
The tool handlers parse these fields before calling the group-iteration functions. Plain z.string().min(1) rejects numeric JSON values, while z.coerce.string().min(1) converts values such as 5 and 53 to strings. This is required for the documented numeric-ID input.

Thanks for filling the iteration gaps — and good call on not faking a close mutation, since state is date-derived.
One blocking issue:
schemas.ts — GetGroupIterationSchema / UpdateGroupIterationSchema reject numeric IDs. The description says "ID, IID, or GraphQL GID", but plain z.string() throws on numeric JSON values like { "group_id": 5, "iteration_id": 53 }. Sibling schemas (ListGroupIterationsSchema, NamespaceIdOrPathSchema) all use z.coerce.string() — please match that in both new schemas:
- group_id: z.string().min(1).describe("Group ID or URL-encoded path"),
- iteration_id: z.string().min(1).describe("Iteration ID, IID, or GraphQL GID"),
+ group_id: z.coerce.string().describe("Group ID or URL-encoded path"),
+ iteration_id: z.coerce.string().describe("Iteration ID, IID, or GraphQL GID"),Docs/skill sync drift I'll handle on my side — no action needed from you there.

Summary
Adds typed tools for GitLab group iterations, addressing #711.
Currently the server can only list group iterations (
list_group_iterations); there is no typed way to fetch a single iteration or to update one, and no way to detach an iteration from a work item. This PR fills those gaps:get_group_iteration— fetch one group iteration by numeric ID, IID, or GraphQL GID.update_group_iteration— update a manual iteration'stitle,description,start_date, anddue_date(RESTPUT /groups/:id/iterations/:iteration_id).update_work_item→remove_iteration— a new boolean that detaches the iteration from a work item via theiterationWidget(iterationId: null), mirroring the existinghierarchyWidget.parentIdpattern. A Zod.refinerejects passingiteration_idandremove_iterationtogether.On closing iterations
The issue title mentions "close" iterations. GitLab exposes no supported mutation to open/close an iteration — iteration state (
upcoming/current/closed) is derived from its start/due dates, not settable via the API. Rather than simulate it with a brittle date hack, this PR intentionally does not add a close tool;update_group_iterationlets callers shift the dates, which is the supported mechanism. Happy to revisit if maintainers prefer a different approach.Changes
schemas.ts— Zod schemas for the two group-iteration tools + theremove_iterationfield and its refine.index.ts— handlers (GraphQL read/update for iterations;iterationWidgeton work-item update).tools/registry.ts— registration; read-only vs write classification so read-only toolsets filter correctly.docs/tools/*.md— regenerated viamake tools-docs.test/— schema tests, MCP mock integration tests (ID/IID/GID get, GraphQL update + read-back, empty-update rejection, mutation-error handling), toolset read-only filtering, and work-itemremove_iterationtests.Testing
