Get the status and details of a translation job. Returns current job status, progress, and results location when completed.
AI agents call get_translation_job to retrieve information from AWS without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a simple read operation that retrieves status and details about an existing translation job. It has no side effects, does not create or modify data, does not execute code or external operations, and does not delete anything. It is a safe informational query with minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_translation_job' and description 'Get the status and details of a translation job' indicate retrieval of job metadata. Action verbs are 'Get' and 'Returns', with no modification, deletion, or execution capability mentioned.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWS, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_translation_job:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_translation_job": {}
}
}get_translation_job is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
