Retrieve details of a specific project in Linear
AI agents call get_project to retrieve information from Linear MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns project information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational retrieval, fitting the Read category. Severity is low because exposing project metadata poses minimal risk even if called maliciously by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_project' and description states 'Retrieve details of a specific project in Linear' — retrieves data with no side effects.

Register the Linear MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_project: 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 Linear MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_project 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 get_project 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 get_project. 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.
get_project is provided by the Linear MCP Server MCP server (sylphxai/linear-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
