WHAT IT DOES

What linear_create_issue does on Sage MCP

AI agents use linear_create_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_create_issue is rated Medium

The tool creates a new issue, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, destroy data, move money, or read-only query data. The severity is medium because creating issues could spam a workspace or clutter project management systems, but the action is reversible (issues can be deleted). Confidence is high because the name and description are explicit and unambiguous.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'linear_create_issue' and description 'Create a new Linear issue' indicate the tool creates new data in Linear's issue tracking system.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

linear_create_issue Rate-limited

linear_create_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.
