## Why dynadot_get_ns is rated Low

This tool retrieves existing nameserver information from the account without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It has no side effects and poses minimal security risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes already-accessible DNS configuration details.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Retrieve nameserver details' and 'list account servers' — both read-only query operations with no modification of state."

## Use case

AI agents call dynadot_get_ns 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_get_ns": {}
  }
}
