// WHAT CAN GO WRONG
✕

Write operations (`linear_add_attachment`, `linear_add_comment`, `linear_create_issue`) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

One command. Full control.

Intercept sits between your agent and Linearapp. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

npx -y @policylayer/intercept scan -- npx -y @mcp-server-linearapp
Scans every tool. Generates a policy. Starts enforcing.

// RECOMMENDED RULES
Rate limit write operations
`linear_add_attachment`:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 30/hour

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
`linear_get_attachments`:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 60/minute

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

// FAQ
How do I prevent bulk modifications through Linearapp? +

The Linearapp server has 9 write tools including `linear_add_attachment`, `linear_add_comment`, `linear_create_issue`. Set rate limits in your policy file -- for example, rate_limit: 10/hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. Intercept enforces this at the transport layer.

How many tools does the Linearapp MCP server expose? +

24 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 15 are read-only. 9 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Linearapp setup? +

One line change. Instead of running the Linearapp server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c linearapp.yaml -- npx -y @mcp-server-linearapp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/linearapp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
