## Why dynadot_domain_appraisal is rated Low

This tool queries the Dynadot API to retrieve domain appraisal information. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. While the appraisal itself is financial in nature (it's a valuation), the tool does not move money, commit financial obligations, or execute trades. It simply retrieves estimated valuation data. Therefore, it is classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'Get an estimated value (appraisal) for a domain' retrieves data about a domain's estimated monetary value without modifying, executing operations, or creating financial transactions."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Dynadot:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dynadot_domain_appraisal": {}
  }
}
