 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- **5 new MCP tools** in companion Steam MCP server (v0.6.0), reaching 25 total tools:
+  - `steam_getNewsForApp` — Fetch recent news and announcements for a game (no auth)
+  - `steam_getSchemaForGame` — Achievement/stat schema with display names, descriptions, and icons (API key)
+  - `steam_getPlayerAchievements` — Per-player achievement unlock status and timestamps (API key)
+  - `steam_getLeaderboardsForGame` — List all leaderboards with numeric IDs (publisher key)
+  - `steam_clearAchievement` — Re-lock/clear an achievement for QA testing (publisher key)
+- Skills updated with new tool references: steam-api-reference, steam-achievement-designer, steam-player-stats, steam-leaderboards, steam-community-management, steam-testing-sandbox
+- `steam-api-key-usage` rule updated with `GetNewsForApp`, `GetSchemaForGame`, `GetPlayerAchievements` equivalents
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - **MCP tool naming** — Renamed all 20 MCP tool references from dot notation (`steam.getAppDetails`) to underscore notation (`steam_getAppDetails`) across 34 files. Dots conflicted with Cursor's internal MCP bridge routing. Companion steam-mcp server v0.5.0 has the matching rename.
 - **`steam_searchApps` parameter** — Renamed `term` to `query` across all skills, rules, and docs to match steam-mcp server v0.5.1 schema change
 - **Companion steam-mcp server v0.5.1** — `steam_getLeaderboardEntries` description clarified (numeric ID required), write tools (`steam_setAchievement`, `steam_uploadLeaderboardScore`, `steam_grantInventoryItem`) now return clear error messages when publisher key is missing
+- **Companion steam-mcp server v0.6.0** — Fixed POST body encoding on publisher tools (params now sent as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` body instead of URL query string), removed dead variable in `grantInventoryItem`

 **Steam Developer Tools** is a Cursor IDE plugin (v0.9.0) that integrates Steam and Steamworks APIs for game developers and power users. It provides AI-assisted workflows for querying Steam store data, managing Steamworks configurations, building multiplayer networking, implementing cloud saves, leaderboards, input, inventory/economy, social features, looking up API docs, fetching player statistics, integrating Workshop UGC, designing achievements, looking up player profiles, comparing games, analyzing reviews, researching pricing, evaluating market fit, estimating wishlists, automating builds, validating release readiness, scripting steamcmd, managing communities, optimizing store pages, planning pricing strategy, configuring DLC, setting up playtests, creating bug report workflows, integrating anti-cheat, providing a testing sandbox, and guiding platform migration.
