Get detailed information about a single Linear issue.
AI agents call linear_get_issue to retrieve information from Integrations MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns information about an existing Linear issue without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that queries data from the Linear API. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could retrieve information about issues it shouldn't have access to, but cannot cause damage, modify data, or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'linear_get_issue' and description 'Get detailed information about a single Linear issue' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a single Linear issue. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Integrations MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Integrations MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for linear_get_issue: 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 Integrations MCP. Nothing to install.
linear_get_issue is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the linear_get_issue 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for linear_get_issue. 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.
linear_get_issue is provided by the Integrations MCP server (shriram-vasudevan/integrations-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
