AI agents call list_translations to retrieve information from Quran MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists metadata about available Quran translations. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—purely informational access to static reference data. The risk is minimal as misuse cannot alter data or cause harm beyond potentially excessive reads.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_translations' and description 'List all available Quran translations' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_translations gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Quran MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_translations:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_translations": {}
}
}list_translations is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all available Quran translations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Quran MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Quran MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_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 Quran MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_translations 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 list_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_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.
list_translations is provided by the Quran MCP Server MCP server (prince77-7/quranmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Quran MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
