list_translation_jobs
AI agents call list_translation_jobs 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.
The tool name strongly suggests a listing/query operation that retrieves information about translation jobs without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The 'list_' prefix is a standard pattern for read-only operations. While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, the naming convention is sufficiently clear to classify this as a Read operation with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_translation_jobs' indicates retrieval of translation job metadata; description is empty, limiting direct confirmation of behavior.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_translation_jobs 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_translation_jobs. 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_translation_jobs 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.
