Get your assigned Linear issues
AI agents call get_my_issues to retrieve information from Linear MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries assigned issues from Linear without any side effects. It fits the Read category as it only fetches existing data. Severity is low because exposure of assigned issues has minimal blast radius—the worst outcome is unauthorized visibility of task assignments, which does not affect system integrity or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_my_issues' and description 'Get your assigned Linear issues' indicate data retrieval with no modification capabilities.
