List all project terms (optionally include translations for a specific language). Returns only term names, contexts, and translation content to minimize response size. Use limit, search, count_only, and fields parameters to reduce token usage.
AI agents call list_terms to retrieve information from POEditor 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 queries existing translation data from a POEditor project without modifying, executing code, deleting, or moving money. The focus on parameter optimization (limit, search, count_only, fields) further confirms its read-only nature. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List all project terms' and 'Returns only term names, contexts, and translation content' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution capabilities are mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all project terms (optionally include translations for a specific language). Returns only term names, contexts, and translation content to minimize response size. Use limit, search, count_only, and fields parameters to reduce token usage. It is categorised as a Read tool in the POEditor MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the POEditor MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_terms: 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 POEditor MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_terms 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_terms 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_terms. 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_terms is provided by the POEditor MCP Server MCP server (ryan-shaw/poeditor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
