Why translate_text needs a policy

The description is empty, providing no information about what this tool does. The name 'translate_text' on an Amazon Redshift MCP server is unusual — it could relate to query translation, language translation, or SQL dialect conversion. Without more information, the most likely interpretation based on the name alone is a read-like operation (translating/converting text), but confidence is very low.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty and uninformative; tool name 'translate_text' suggests text translation functionality

POLICY

How to control translate_text

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Redshift MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for translate_text:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "translate_text": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "translate_text_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

translate_text gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
