RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_translation_key safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Godot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_translation_key, this is the rule to start with:

add_translation_key Rate-limited

add_translation_key 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.
