WHAT IT DOES

What linear_get_cycle does on Sage MCP

AI agents call linear_get_cycle to retrieve information from Sage MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why linear_get_cycle is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about a Linear cycle (a project management concept representing a time-boxed iteration) by its identifier. It is a read-only query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

linear_get_cycle Allowed

linear_get_cycle is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "tools": {
    "linear_get_cycle": {}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sage MCP, apply this rule, and every linear_get_cycle call is checked against it from then on.
