What linear_delete_issue does on Allmcp
AI agents call linear_delete_issue 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_delete_issue is rated Critical
Delete operations irreversibly remove data and cannot be undone. Issues in Linear are typically project tracking entities (bugs, tasks, features). Deletion is destructive by definition. High severity due to potential data loss impact if triggered on wrong issues; very high confidence due to explicit 'delete' verb in tool name despite missing description.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' verb applied to 'issue' (a data entity). The pattern matches sibling tools like 'altegio_delete_appointment' and 'altegio_delete_transaction' on the same server, which are destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs linear_delete_issue 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_delete_issue, this is the rule to start with:
linear_delete_issue 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_delete_issue call is checked against it from then on.
