+# Story 376: Rename MCP whatsup tool to status for consistency
+
+## User Story
+
+As a developer using storkit's MCP tools, I want the MCP tool to be called `status` instead of `whatsup`, so that the naming is consistent between the bot command (`status`), the web UI slash command (`/status`), and the MCP tool.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] MCP tool is renamed from 'whatsup' to 'status'
+- [ ] MCP tool is discoverable as 'status' via tools/list
+- [ ] The tool still accepts a story_id parameter and returns the same triage data
+- [ ] Old 'whatsup' tool name is removed from the MCP registry
+- [ ] Any internal references to the whatsup tool name are updated
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
