AI agents call linear_list_teams to retrieve information from autoMate 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 team information from Linear (a project management platform). It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The action is informational only with no capability to alter state or trigger actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'linear_list_teams' and description 'List all Linear teams in the workspace' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and enumerates existing data without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access linear_list_teams gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and autoMate, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for linear_list_teams:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"linear_list_teams": {}
}
}linear_list_teams is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all Linear teams in the workspace. It is categorised as a Read tool in the autoMate MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the autoMate 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 autoMate. 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 autoMate MCP server (yuruotong1/automate). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
