AI agents use update_domain_alias to create or modify resources in PO6 Mailbox. 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 update_domain_alias 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 PO6 Mailbox.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Update a domain alias settings. Can change forwarding address (triggers re-verification), toggle active status (subject to plan limits), or configure plus addressing.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the PO6 Mailbox MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the PO6 Mailbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_domain_alias: 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 PO6 Mailbox. Nothing to install.
update_domain_alias 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 update_domain_alias 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 update_domain_alias. 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.
update_domain_alias is provided by the PO6 Mailbox MCP server (https://mcp.po6.com). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
