WHAT IT DOES

What setup_domain does on Starfield

AI agents use setup_domain to create or update resources in Starfield, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Starfield environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`domain`	string	Yes	Domain name to configure (e.g. "outreach-acme.com")

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why setup_domain is rated Medium

An AI agent can call setup_domain faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Starfield by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs setup_domain safely

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

setup_domain Rate-limited

setup_domain 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.
