What linear_update_cycle does on Allmcp
AI agents use linear_update_cycle to create or update resources in Allmcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Allmcp environment.
Why linear_update_cycle is rated Medium
The 'update' verb in the tool name indicates data modification rather than deletion, retrieval, or execution of arbitrary logic. Updating a cycle in Linear is reversible (can be changed again), placing it in Write category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'linear_update_cycle' indicates modification of a cycle entity in Linear (issue tracking system). The verb 'update' explicitly denotes a write operation that modifies existing data. Description is empty, which slightly reduces confidence.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs linear_update_cycle 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_update_cycle, this is the rule to start with:
linear_update_cycle stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Allmcp, apply this rule, and every linear_update_cycle call is checked against it from then on.

linear_update_cycle is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the linear_update_cycle rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
