What linear_archive_initiative does on Allmcp
AI agents call linear_archive_initiative to permanently remove resources in Allmcp, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why linear_archive_initiative is rated Critical
Archiving an initiative hides/removes it from active views and workflows. The description explicitly notes it is 'Reversible only in the Linear UI', meaning it cannot be undone programmatically via API, making it effectively destructive in an automated/agent context. The blast radius is high as archiving an initiative could affect multiple linked projects, issues, and team workflows.

The rule that runs linear_archive_initiative safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Allmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For linear_archive_initiative, this is the rule to start with:
linear_archive_initiative is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Allmcp, apply this rule, and every linear_archive_initiative call is checked against it from then on.
