Change the status of a Phrase TMS project. Check current status with tms_get_project first. CANCELLED is irreversible. (POST /api2/v1/projects/{projectUid}/setStatus)
AI agents call tms_set_project_status to permanently remove resources in Phrase — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Although the tool name suggests a simple status change (Write), the description clarifies that setting a project to CANCELLED status is irreversible, making this a Destructive action. Irreversibility is the defining characteristic. An AI agent misusing this could permanently cancel production projects, disrupting localization workflows. High severity due to business impact on active projects.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'CANCELLED is irreversible' and performs a status change via POST to /api2/v1/projects/{projectUid}/setStatus that cannot be undone.

Change the status of a Phrase TMS project. Check current status with tms_get_project first. CANCELLED is irreversible. (POST /api2/v1/projects/{projectUid}/setStatus). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Phrase MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Phrase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tms_set_project_status: 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 Phrase. Nothing to install.
tms_set_project_status 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 tms_set_project_status 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 tms_set_project_status. 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.
tms_set_project_status is provided by the Phrase MCP server (phrase-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
