## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json

## Why get_issue is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries existing issue data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a pure read operation typical of data retrieval endpoints. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—at worst, an agent could retrieve information about issues it shouldn't have access to, but no data is altered or destroyed.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_issue' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific issue by its ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_issue to retrieve information from Linear Kanban Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Linear Kanban Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_issue": {}
  }
}
```
