Connect Linear safely (API key and team scope)

Linear works best when your agent has focused access. Avoid owner-level keys and scope to the specific teams where automation is required.

1

Use dedicated service user

  • Create a dedicated Linear user for your agent.
  • Add it only to the teams it should access.
  • Avoid personal owner accounts for integrations.
2

Manage API keys as secrets

Generate a personal API key from the dedicated account, store it in secret management, and never paste it in public channels or issue comments.

3

Start read-only, then expand

  • Validate issue search and summaries first.
  • Add create/update workflows only after approval.
  • Track what actions the bot performs in logs.
