Guess first, no penalty. In one manual, the MT draft translates "torque wrench" three different ways. Why does that matter?
Terminology means the agreed words for a client's concepts. A glossary is the list of those terms in both languages. MT tools don't know your client's glossary unless you give it to them, so they may pick a different word each time.
CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools like Trados and memoQ can suggest terms from your glossaries and reuse sentences you translated before. You still accept or reject each one.

A prompt is the message you type into the tool.
