MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS
Critical Risk

The most dangerous Smartling MCP Server tools

Destructive · High smartling_cancel_job Cancelling a job is an irreversible action that terminates an in-progress translation job, potentially discarding work, removing it from the workflow, and cannot be undone. Destructive · High smartling_delete_context Deletion of project context is a destructive action that removes data permanently. Destructive · High smartling_delete_file This tool irreversibly deletes data (files) from Smartling. Destructive · High smartling_delete_glossary_term Deleting a glossary term is a destructive, irreversible action.

22 of Smartling MCP Server's 71 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Smartling MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Smartling MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations
{
  "smartling_cancel_job": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations
{
  "smartling_add_files_to_job": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "smartling_add_files_to_job_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "smartling_ai_analyze": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "smartling_ai_analyze_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

  1. Create a free account and register Smartling MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Smartling MCP Server

Can an AI agent delete data through the Smartling MCP Server MCP server? +

Yes. The Smartling MCP Server server exposes 6 destructive tools including smartling_cancel_job, smartling_delete_context, smartling_delete_file. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Smartling MCP Server? +

The Smartling MCP Server server has 13 write tools including smartling_add_files_to_job, smartling_add_glossary_term, smartling_add_locale_to_project. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Smartling MCP Server.

How many tools does the Smartling MCP Server MCP server expose? +

71 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 49 are read-only. 22 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Smartling MCP Server? +

Register the Smartling MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Smartling MCP Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 71 Smartling MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
