WHAT IT DOES

What linear_archive_issue does on Sage MCP

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

RISK

Why linear_archive_issue is rated Medium

Archiving an issue modifies its state reversibly (it can typically be unarchived). This is a Write operation rather than Destructive because archiving does not permanently delete data and the action is generally reversible. Severity is medium because archiving issues could disrupt workflows or hide important information if misused by an agent, but it does not destroy data or cause financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'linear_archive_issue' and description states 'Archive a Linear issue'. Archiving is a state-change operation that modifies an issue's status/visibility.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs linear_archive_issue safely

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

linear_archive_issue Rate-limited

linear_archive_issue 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.
