What lookup_sslstatus does on GoCreative Agent API
AI agents call lookup_sslstatus to retrieve information from GoCreative Agent API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

domain | string | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why lookup_sslstatus is rated Low
lookup_sslstatus performs a passive security audit of certificate status—it queries and returns existing certificate metadata about a domain. This is a read operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. While it could theoretically be used for reconnaissance, the information it returns is public and the tool cannot directly harm systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves TLS certificate information (validity, expiry, grading) for a domain without modifying any data. Description explicitly states 'Check' and the operation is informational in nature, consistent with read-only lookups.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs lookup_sslstatus safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoCreative Agent API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For lookup_sslstatus, this is the rule to start with:
lookup_sslstatus is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GoCreative Agent API, apply this rule, and every lookup_sslstatus call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about lookup_sslstatus
Check a domain's TLS certificate validity, expiry, and grading. Use for uptime and security agents. Example call: {"domain": "github.com"} Cost: $0.005–$0.05 USDC on Base per call. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GoCreative Agent API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
lookup_sslstatus accepts 1 parameter: domain. Required: domain. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the GoCreative Agent API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for lookup_sslstatus: 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 GoCreative Agent API. Nothing to install.
lookup_sslstatus is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the lookup_sslstatus 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 lookup_sslstatus. 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.
lookup_sslstatus is provided by the GoCreative Agent API MCP server (https://api.gocreativeai.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
