## Why linear_get_issue is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries issue data from Linear without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with no side effects. Severity is low because unauthorized access to issue details poses minimal risk compared to write or destructive operations, though it could expose sensitive information depending on issue contents.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Get[s] full details of a Linear issue by ID' and 'Returns title, description, state, priority, assignee, labels, comments, and URL.' The verb 'Get' and the list of returned fields (no modification actions mentioned) indicate…"
