What translate_video does on Zype Com
AI agents call translate_video to retrieve information from Zype Com without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
language | string | Yes | Target language code, e.g., "es", "fr", "de" (required). Use list_translation_languages to see options. |
video_id | string | Yes | The video ID to translate (required) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why translate_video is rated Low
Even though translate_video only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs translate_video safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Zype Com, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For translate_video, this is the rule to start with:
translate_video is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Zype Com, apply this rule, and every translate_video call is checked against it from then on.
