## Why linear_update_issue is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing issue data in Linear (a project management system) but does not delete data irreversibly. Updates are reversible—prior versions can typically be recovered or the issue can be reverted to a previous state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'linear_update_issue' combined with description 'Update an existing Linear issue' indicates modification of data. The verb 'update' is explicitly stated as a reversible write operation."

## Use case

AI agents use linear_update_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.
