WHAT IT DOES

What manage_ui5_i18n does on MCP SAPUI5 Server

AI agents use manage_ui5_i18n to create or update resources in MCP SAPUI5 Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP SAPUI5 Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_ui5_i18n needs a policy

The tool performs code analysis (Read-like) but crucially includes 'apply fixes' with a 'patch flow', meaning it writes changes to i18n configuration files and potentially source code. This is reversible via version control, making it Write rather than Destructive. The 'safe preview/apply' pattern suggests it offers before/after visibility, mitigating risk.

From the tool's definition 'apply fixes' and 'apply patch flow' indicate the tool modifies project files; 'Extract UI literals, detect missing/unused i18n keys' confirms it performs analysis and transformation of internationalization resources, creating/updating i18n key mappings
