WHAT IT DOES

What hf_inference.nlp.translate does on Apibase

AI agents invoke hf_inference.nlp.translate to trigger actions in Apibase. 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`text`	string	Yes	Input text to process. Maximum ~10,000 characters depending on model context window.
`model`	string	—	Override the HuggingFace model ID for translation. If omitted, the adapter automatically selects "Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-{source_lang}-{target_lang}" (e.g. "Helsi
`source_lang`	string	—	ISO 639-1 two-letter source language code. Default: "en" (English). Change if the input text is in a language other than English (e.g. "fr" for French input, "e
`target_lang`	string	Yes	ISO 639-1 two-letter target language code (e.g. "fr" for French, "es" for Spanish, "de" for German, "pt" for Portuguese, "it" for Italian, "nl" for Dutch, "ru"

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why hf_inference.nlp.translate is rated High

Triggers external API call to run an NLP model; effects depend on input arguments.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs hf_inference.nlp.translate safely

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

hf_inference.nlp.translate Rate-limited

hf_inference.nlp.translate 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 Apibase, apply this rule, and every hf_inference.nlp.translate call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about hf_inference.nlp.translate

What does the hf_inference.nlp.translate tool do? +

Translate text between languages using the Helsinki-NLP opus-mt model family via HuggingFace Inference API. Covers 1,000+ language pairs (English to French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, etc.). Specify target_lang as a 2-letter ISO 639-1 code (e.g. "fr", "es", "de", "zh", "ja"). The adapter automatically selects the opus-mt-{source}-{target} model. Useful for multilingual content pipelines, localization, and cross-language information retrieval. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does hf_inference.nlp.translate accept? +

hf_inference.nlp.translate accepts 4 parameters: text, model, source_lang, target_lang. Required: text, target_lang. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on hf_inference.nlp.translate? +

Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hf_inference.nlp.translate: 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 Apibase. Nothing to install.

What risk level is hf_inference.nlp.translate? +

hf_inference.nlp.translate is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit hf_inference.nlp.translate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the hf_inference.nlp.translate 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 hf_inference.nlp.translate completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for hf_inference.nlp.translate. 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 hf_inference.nlp.translate? +

hf_inference.nlp.translate is provided by the Apibase MCP server (apibase-mcp-client). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
