AI agents use upload_translations to create or modify resources in Mcp Client. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call upload_translations repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Mcp Client.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

What does the upload_translations tool do? +

Upload existing translations for reuse to reduce costs. Provide sourceFilePath (original language file) and targetFilePath (translated file) with sourceLocale and targetLocale. Example: sourceFilePath=. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Client MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on upload_translations? +

Register the Mcp Client MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for upload_translations: 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 Mcp Client. Nothing to install.

What risk level is upload_translations? +

upload_translations is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit upload_translations? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the upload_translations 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 upload_translations completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for upload_translations. 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 upload_translations? +

upload_translations is provided by the Mcp Client MCP server (https://mcp.i18nagent.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mcp Client tool call.
