WHAT IT DOES

What issue-create does on Lint

AI agents use issue-create to create or update resources in Lint, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Lint environment.

RISK

Why issue-create is rated Medium

This tool creates new issues in what appears to be a project management or issue tracking system. Creation is a reversible write operation (issues can be closed/deleted), distinguishing it from destructive actions. The medium severity reflects that misuse could generate spam or clutter in an issue tracker, but the impact is bounded and remediable.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'issue-create' and description 'Creates a new issue' indicate data creation with reversible effects. Returns structured data including issue number, URL, and labels, confirming a write operation on an external system (likely issue tracker).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs issue-create safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Lint, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For issue-create, this is the rule to start with:

issue-create Rate-limited

issue-create 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.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "issue-create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "issue-create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Lint, apply this rule, and every issue-create call is checked against it from then on.
