AI agents call linear_getCustomerTiers to retrieve information from Linear 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 customer tier information from Linear without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It has no side effects beyond retrieving structured information. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access existing tier data that it should not see, not cause operational damage. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Get customer tiers from Linear' — retrieves data with no modifications.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Linear, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for linear_getCustomerTiers:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"linear_getCustomerTiers": {}
}
}linear_getCustomerTiers is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
