WHAT IT DOES

What linear_list_teams does on Linear

RISK

Why linear_list_teams is rated Low

This tool retrieves organizational information (team metadata) from Linear without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk—exposing team names and IDs is a low-severity information disclosure that an AI agent might perform accidentally without significant harm.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all teams in your Linear workspace. Returns team ID, name, key, and description.' The verb 'list' and the function of retrieving and returning team metadata without modification indicates a read-only operation.
