List all teams in the Linear workspace.
AI agents call linear_list_teams 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 team metadata from a Linear workspace without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, an agent learns about team structures. No destructive, financial, or execution capabilities are present.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'linear_list_teams' with description 'List all teams in the Linear workspace.' The verb 'list' and action of retrieving/enumerating workspace teams indicates a read-only operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all teams in the Linear workspace. 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_list_teams: 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_list_teams 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_list_teams 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_list_teams. 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_list_teams 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.
