AI agents use domain_settings to create or modify resources in BorealHost. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call domain_settings repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach BorealHost.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Update domain settings (auto-renew, WHOIS privacy, registrar lock). Only provided (non-None) fields are updated. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") auto_renew: Enable/disable automatic renewal whois_privacy: Enable/disable WHOIS privacy protection locked: Enable/disable registrar lock (prevents unauthorized transfers) Returns: {"success": true, "domain": "example.com", "auto_renew": true, "whois_privacy": true, "locked": true} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found or not owned by account. It is categorised as a Write tool in the BorealHost MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the BorealHost MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for domain_settings: 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 BorealHost. Nothing to install.
domain_settings is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the domain_settings 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 domain_settings. 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.
domain_settings is provided by the BorealHost MCP server (pypi:borealhost-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
