WHAT IT DOES

What domain_dns_list does on CoWork OS

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

RISK

Why domain_dns_list is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries and returns DNS records for a specified domain. There is no data modification, deletion, execution of commands, or financial impact. The worst-case misuse would be reconnaissance or information gathering about a domain's DNS configuration, which has minimal blast radius in the context of an agent using local-first tooling.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'domain_dns_list' and description 'List DNS records for a domain' indicate a query operation that retrieves DNS record data without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs domain_dns_list safely

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

domain_dns_list Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every domain_dns_list call is checked against it from then on.
