list_transcriptions

List all transcriptions and translations for a video. Returns both original transcriptions and any translations, with their status (pending, processing, completed, failed). Use this to check the status of async transcription/translation operations.

Part of the Zype Com server.

list_transcriptions is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call list_transcriptions to retrieve information from Zype Com without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though list_transcriptions only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_transcriptions gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so list_transcriptions only ever does what you allow.

What does the list_transcriptions tool do? +

List all transcriptions and translations for a video. Returns both original transcriptions and any translations, with their status (pending, processing, completed, failed). Use this to check the status of async transcription/translation operations.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Zype Com MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_transcriptions? +

Register the Zype Com MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_transcriptions: 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 Zype Com. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_transcriptions? +

list_transcriptions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_transcriptions? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_transcriptions 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.

How do I block list_transcriptions completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_transcriptions. 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.

What MCP server provides list_transcriptions? +

list_transcriptions is provided by the Zype Com MCP server (zype/zype-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Zype Com tool call.
