AI agents call get_translation_status to retrieve information from Langapi without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves translation metadata and status information across locales to provide reporting insights. It compares source against target locales and reports gaps, which is inherently a read operation. There are no side effects mentioned—no translations are modified, deleted, or created by this tool. The output is informational (status assessment and cost estimation).
From the tool's definition Tool performs comparison and identification of missing/outdated keys to 'estimate translation costs' — a query and reporting function with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Compare source locale against target locales to identify missing/outdated keys and estimate translation costs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Langapi MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Langapi MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_translation_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 Langapi. Nothing to install.
get_translation_status 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 get_translation_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 get_translation_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.
get_translation_status is provided by the Langapi MCP server (tedyhub/langapi-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_translation_status is one line of Langapi's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
