WHAT IT DOES

What linear_list_cycles does on Sage MCP

AI agents call linear_list_cycles 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_list_cycles is rated Low

This tool performs a data retrieval operation only. It queries and returns cycles (likely sprint/project cycles) for a specified Linear team. No data is created, modified, deleted, or any external operations are triggered. The operation is purely informational with no side effects.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'linear_list_cycles' contains the verb 'list', which retrieves or queries data. The description 'List cycles for a Linear team' explicitly indicates a read operation that retrieves cycle information without modifying any state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

linear_list_cycles Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "linear_list_cycles": {}
  }
}

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_list_cycles call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about linear_list_cycles

What does the linear_list_cycles tool do? +

List cycles for a Linear team. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sage MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on linear_list_cycles? +

Register the Sage MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for linear_list_cycles: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sage MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is linear_list_cycles? +

linear_list_cycles is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit linear_list_cycles? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the linear_list_cycles rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block linear_list_cycles completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for linear_list_cycles. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides linear_list_cycles? +
