WHAT IT DOES

What unsubscribe does on Linear

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	Yes	Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why unsubscribe is rated Medium

The tool deactivates a subscription row rather than permanently deleting it, making it a reversible write operation. While it cancels a subscription, the description explicitly states it is not deleted and historical data remains accessible. Severity is medium because cancelling a subscription has meaningful operational impact but can be reversed by reactivating.

From the tool's definition 'The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts' — the record is soft-deleted/deactivated, not permanently removed; this is a reversible modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unsubscribe 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 unsubscribe, this is the rule to start with:

unsubscribe Rate-limited

unsubscribe 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.
