A tool that gets all teams and their IDs from Linear
AI agents call get_team_id to retrieve information from MCP Linear App without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves team information from Linear, which is a read-only query operation. It has no ability to modify, delete, or execute actions; it simply fetches and returns existing team identifiers and related metadata. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this tool cannot cause damage beyond potentially learning organizational structure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_team_id' and description 'gets all teams and their IDs' indicate data retrieval with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
A tool that gets all teams and their IDs from Linear. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Linear App MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Linear App MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_team_id: 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 MCP Linear App. Nothing to install.
get_team_id 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_team_id 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_team_id. 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_team_id is provided by the MCP Linear App MCP server (zalab-inc/mcp-linear-app). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
