AI agents call get_translations to retrieve information from Tolgee without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves translation data from the Tolgee localization platform. This is a read-only operation with no side effects—it queries existing data without creating, modifying, or deleting resources. The pattern matches other read operations in MCP ('get', 'export'). Low severity because reading translation data poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_translations' and sibling context indicate retrieval of translation data. The name follows the 'get_*' pattern which is a read operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_translations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tolgee MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tolgee MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_translations: 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 Tolgee. Nothing to install.
get_translations 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_translations 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_translations. 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_translations is provided by the Tolgee MCP server (ytarfa/tolgee-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
