## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why dns_update_records is rated Medium

DNS record updates are reversible write operations that modify domain routing and services but do not permanently delete data. However, severity is high because misconfiguration can cause severe business impact (service outages, email failures, security vulnerabilities). An AI agent with this capability could redirect traffic, intercept communications, or disable services if given incorrect instructions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dns_update_records' and description 'Update/replace DNS records for a domain' explicitly indicate modification of DNS configuration."

## Use case

AI agents use dns_update_records to create or update resources in Hostinger, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hostinger environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dns_update_records": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
