Why translate_text needs a policy

Based on the server description mentioning text translation services and the tool name 'translate_text', this tool likely sends text to an external translation service and returns a translated result. This constitutes a Write/Execute action involving an external API call. However, since the description is empty, confidence is low.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'translate_text'; description is empty or uninformative.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access translate_text gives an agent:

How to control translate_text

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "translate_text": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "translate_text_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

translate_text stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
