WHAT IT DOES

What list_domains does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents call list_domains to retrieve information from cPanel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_domains is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate domains associated with a cPanel account. It retrieves data (main, addon, sub, parked domains) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—exposure of domain names poses informational risk but no operational harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_domains' and description 'List all domains on the account' indicate a query operation that retrieves information without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_domains safely

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

list_domains Allowed

list_domains is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_domains": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect cPanel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every list_domains call is checked against it from then on.
