## Why list_translation_jobs is rated Low

The 'list_' prefix conventionally denotes a read-only operation that retrieves or enumerates existing resources (translation jobs) without creating, modifying, or deleting data. The severity is low because listing metadata has minimal blast radius even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_translation_jobs' indicates a listing/querying operation with no modification. The verb 'list' is a retrieval operation. No description provided, but the name strongly suggests data retrieval."

## Use case

AI agents call list_translation_jobs to retrieve information from AWS without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches AWS:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_translation_jobs": {}
  }
}
```
