Show me all unresolved issues assigned to the Engineering team.

I've queried your Engineering team and found 7 open issues. The highest priority items are 'Fix auth token refresh bug' (ENG-142) and 'Implement pagination for API responses' (ENG-138). Would you like full details on either?

Create a new issue in the Backend team titled 'Add rate limiting to /api/search endpoint' with high priority.

Done! I've created issue **BE-217** titled 'Add rate limiting to /api/search endpoint' with priority High in the Backend team. You can view it at linear.app/yourco/issue/BE-217.
