Deletes a translation from a translation memory in your Lara Translate account.
AI agents call delete_translation to permanently remove resources in Lara — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes translations from a user's translation memory. Deletion operations are irreversible and cannot be undone without manual recovery or backups. While the blast radius is primarily limited to translation data (not affecting financial systems or code execution), the permanent loss of user data and the inability to recover deleted entries classifies this as Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Deletes a translation' which is an irreversible deletion operation. The presence of 'delete_' prefix combined with the action of removing data from a translation memory confirms destructive capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Deletes a translation from a translation memory in your Lara Translate account. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Lara MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Lara MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_translation: 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 Lara. Nothing to install.
delete_translation is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_translation 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_translation. 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.
delete_translation is provided by the Lara MCP server (@translated/lara-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
