Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool modifies data reversibly by changing an idea's status and creating an associated todo record. While it locks the idea (preventing further changes), the action itself is not destructive—the idea record remains and can theoretically be reviewed or unlocked. The side effects are state changes to existing records (status update, new todo creation, event posting) rather than irreversible deletion.
