Translate natural language query to structured search parameters. Parses queries like
AI agents call translate_query to retrieve information from TDZ C64 Knowledge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only converts unstructured input into structured output for downstream search operations. It has no side effects, does not execute arbitrary code, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. It is purely an analytical/transformation utility supporting read operations like answer_question and semantic search.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'translate_query' and description indicate it 'Translates natural language query to structured search parameters' and 'Parses queries' — parsing and translation operations that retrieve or transform data without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Translate natural language query to structured search parameters. Parses queries like. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TDZ C64 Knowledge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TDZ C64 Knowledge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for translate_query: 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 TDZ C64 Knowledge. Nothing to install.
translate_query is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the translate_query 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 translate_query. 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.
translate_query is provided by the TDZ C64 Knowledge MCP server (michaeltroelsen/tdz-c64-knowledge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
