MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS
Critical Risk

The most dangerous Phrase tools

Destructive · High bqe_delete_ai_check This tool irreversibly deletes an AI Check resource and modifies related Quality Profiles. Destructive · High bqe_delete_quality_profile This tool permanently removes a Quality Profile resource with no undo capability. Destructive · High strings_delete_branch The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on project branches. Destructive · High strings_delete_glossary_term The tool deletes glossary terms, which is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone.

79 of Phrase's 145 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Phrase

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

Deny destructive operations
{
  "bqe_delete_ai_check": {
    "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
{
  "bqe_create_ai_check": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "bqe_create_ai_check_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "bqe_get_ai_check": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "bqe_get_ai_check_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 Phrase — 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.

Questions about Phrase

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

Yes. The Phrase server exposes 13 destructive tools including bqe_delete_ai_check, bqe_delete_quality_profile, strings_delete_branch. 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 Phrase? +

The Phrase server has 58 write tools including bqe_create_ai_check, bqe_create_quality_profile, bqe_update_ai_check. 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 Phrase.

How many tools does the Phrase MCP server expose? +

145 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 66 are read-only. 79 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Phrase? +

Register the Phrase 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 Phrase tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 145 Phrase tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
