+# Story 267: MCP update_story tool should support front matter fields
+
+## User Story
+
+As an operator using the MCP tools, I want update_story to accept optional front matter fields (like agent, manual_qa, etc.) so that I can update story metadata without editing files by hand.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] update_story MCP tool accepts optional agent parameter to set/change the agent front matter field
+- [ ] update_story MCP tool accepts optional arbitrary front matter key-value pairs
+- [ ] Front matter updates are auto-committed via the filesystem watcher like other story mutations
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
