WHAT IT DOES

What translate-document does on DeepL

AI agents invoke translate-document to trigger actions in DeepL. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why translate-document is rated High

This tool executes a document translation operation, which is an external service call with effects dependent on the input document and target language parameters. While the operation is reversible (not Destructive) and does not move money (not Financial), it performs a transformation on user data via an external API.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Translate a document file via DeepL' — the tool processes and translates document files, which constitutes execution of a translation operation on user-provided input.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs translate-document safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DeepL, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For translate-document, this is the rule to start with:

translate-document Rate-limited

translate-document stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

      ]
    }
  }
}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DeepL, apply this rule, and every translate-document call is checked against it from then on.
