Why unlink-project-from-initiative needs a policy

Unlinking a project from an initiative removes an association that may not be easily recoverable, which is more destructive than a simple write. The sibling tool 'link-project-to-initiative' is the inverse operation, suggesting this removes that link. Confidence is moderate because the description is empty and we're inferring behavior from the name and context of sibling tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'unlink-project-from-initiative' — the 'unlink' action implies removing an existing relationship/association between a project and an initiative.

POLICY

How to control unlink-project-from-initiative

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Linear MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for unlink-project-from-initiative:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "unlink-project-from-initiative"
  ]
}

unlink-project-from-initiative disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Linear MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
