Why create_agent_runtime needs a policy

With no description available and a name that does not match the server's stated purpose, classification is highly uncertain. 'create_agent_runtime' suggests creation/write semantics, but without evidence it could belong to a different service entirely. Defaulting to Other with low confidence; if it truly creates a resource, Write would be appropriate.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_agent_runtime' but description is empty; the server context is Amazon Translate (translation, terminology, batch processing), and this tool name does not align with any translate-related functionality.

How to control create_agent_runtime

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_agent_runtime": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_agent_runtime_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register Amazon Translate MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
