Get team home resource sections and pinned documents or external links
AI agents call linear_getTeamResources 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 retrieves team resource information (sections, documents, links) without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or transferring funds. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get team home resource sections and pinned documents or external links' — clearly a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access linear_getTeamResources gives an agent:
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_getTeamResources:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"linear_getTeamResources": {}
}
}linear_getTeamResources is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get team home resource sections and pinned documents or external links. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Linear MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Linear MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for linear_getTeamResources: 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. Nothing to install.
linear_getTeamResources 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_getTeamResources 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_getTeamResources. 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_getTeamResources is provided by the Linear MCP server (tacticlaunch/mcp-linear). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
