generate_mta_sts_policy

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use generate_mta_sts_policy to create or modify resources in Blackveil Dns. 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GENERATE_MTA_STS_POLICY

Without a policy, an AI agent could call generate_mta_sts_policy repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Blackveil Dns.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the generate_mta_sts_policy tool do? +

Generate MTA-STS record and policy file.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Blackveil Dns MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_mta_sts_policy? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for generate_mta_sts_policy. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Blackveil Dns MCP server.

What risk level is generate_mta_sts_policy? +

generate_mta_sts_policy is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit generate_mta_sts_policy? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_mta_sts_policy rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block generate_mta_sts_policy completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for generate_mta_sts_policy. 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.

What MCP server provides generate_mta_sts_policy? +

generate_mta_sts_policy is provided by the Blackveil Dns MCP server (blackveil-dns). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
