THE RISK

Why get_translate_values needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix and name pattern align with other sibling read-only tools (get_employee, get_job_history, get_org_chart, etc.). This appears to be a metadata/lookup retrieval function that queries PeopleSoft translate tables without modifying data. However, confidence is moderate (0.7) due to empty description and potential access to sensitive lookup data mapping.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_translate_values' with 'get' prefix indicates a retrieval operation. In PeopleSoft context, translate values are lookup tables mapping codes to human-readable descriptions. No description provided to confirm specifics.

POLICY

How to control get_translate_values

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PeopleSoft MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_translate_values:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_translate_values": {}
  }
}

get_translate_values is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register PeopleSoft MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
