## Why list_teams is rated Low

This tool queries and returns a list of teams without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent would only enumerate teams the user already has access to. Confidence is high given the clear semantic indicators in both name and description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_teams' and description 'List all Linear teams available to the authenticated user' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_teams 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": {
    "list_teams": {}
  }
}
```
