Get all issues associated with a project
AI agents call linear_getProjectIssues 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 retrieves data from Linear's project management system without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It is a straightforward read-only operation that retrieves a list of issues. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only over-query or retrieve sensitive issue data, but cannot cause irreversible damage or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getProjectIssues' and description 'Get all issues associated with a project' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
