While trying to look up an existing issue by its identifier, I discovered what appears to be a bug in the Plane connector/API integration.

The connector exposes an `archive` field for the **archive** action (used to archive/unarchive an issue). However, this same `archive` field is also being sent automatically with other actions that do not support it, such as:

- `list`
- `retrieve_by_identifier`
- `search`
- `count`

As a result, the server rejects these requests because they contain an unsupported parameter.

Any suggestions or workarounds available?

Thank you so much in advance!  
Best,
