AI agents call get_retranslation_batch to retrieve information from Paraglide without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves/fetches a batch of messages from the translation system for the purpose of retranslation. Although the word 'retranslate' appears in the description, the tool itself performs only data retrieval (Read category). The actual translation work and persistence would occur via other tools like 'save_translations' (Write).
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description indicates 'Get a batch of messages to RETRANSLATE' — this is a retrieval operation that queries messages for translation purposes without modifying data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a batch of messages to RETRANSLATE for a target locale — unlike. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Paraglide MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Paraglide MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_retranslation_batch: 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 Paraglide. Nothing to install.
get_retranslation_batch 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_retranslation_batch 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_retranslation_batch. 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_retranslation_batch is provided by the Paraglide MCP server (weshaze/paraglide-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
