RISK

Why ask_pipeworx_beta is rated Low

Even though ask_pipeworx_beta only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ask_pipeworx_beta safely

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

ask_pipeworx_beta Allowed

ask_pipeworx_beta is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ask_pipeworx_beta": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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