Why linkIssues needs a policy

Based on the name alone, 'linkIssues' most likely creates or modifies a relationship/link between issue records (e.g., in a project management system), which is a reversible Write operation. Without a description, confidence is low, but the naming pattern is consistent with write-category tools that associate entities.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'linkIssues' — description is empty and uninformative.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access linkIssues gives an agent:

How to control linkIssues

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Server Generator, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for linkIssues:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "linkIssues": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "linkissues_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

linkIssues 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.

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