Linear ACTION

Get Current User

Retrieve rich context about the authenticated Linear user, including core profile fields, recent timestamps, direct team memberships, and high-level organization settings. Use this when your workflow or agent needs to understand who is currently authenticated, which teams they belong to, or what workspace policies might influence subsequent Linear actions. Use the optional fields prop to return only the top-level sections you need (reduces context for large workspaces). Example: call with no parameters → returns {user: {id: "usr_01", name: "Jane Doe", email: "jane@acme.com"}, organization: {id: "org_01", name: "Acme Inc"}, teams: {nodes: [{id: "9d1c3f7e-2b48-4c6a-9f1e-5a7b8c9d0e1f", name: "Engineering", key: "ENG"}], pageInfo: {endCursor: "...", hasNextPage: false}}, teamMemberships: {nodes: [{id: "tm_01"}], pageInfo: {endCursor: "...", hasNextPage: false}}}.

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Linear account once, then configure and run Get Current User from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "linear-get-current-user",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    linear: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    fields: ["Fields"],
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

REFERENCE

Tool details

Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
