List all supported language pairs for translation.
AI agents call list_language_pairs to retrieve information from AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information without modifying, executing external operations, or causing side effects. It returns a static list of supported language pairs, which is a read-only data retrieval operation. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose the list of supported languages, not sensitive data or system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_language_pairs' and description 'List all supported language pairs for translation' indicate a query operation that retrieves static reference data about available language pair options.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all supported language pairs for translation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_language_pairs: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_language_pairs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_language_pairs rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_language_pairs. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_language_pairs is provided by the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-iot-sitewise-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
