get_domain_status is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_domain_status to retrieve information from SiteGuardian without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_domain_status only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_domain_status only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_domain_status tool do? +

Returns the current security grade (A–F), last-scan timestamp, and list of active issues for a domain that is ALREADY under SiteGuardian monitoring by the authenticated account. Each issue carries a stable id, a severity, a short title, and an impact description. The response also includes a relative dashboard URL. Use this when the user asks about the current state of a specific monitored domain, wants to confirm a recent change landed, or needs issue ids to call get_fix_recommendations with a specific issue_id. Do NOT use this for domains not yet under monitoring — it will return a domain_not_monitored error; call scan_domain for one-off checks instead. Compliance framework tags (NIS2 / GDPR / DORA) are NOT included in v1; framework tagging on the monitored-domain path is tracked as a follow-up. Requires a valid API key.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SiteGuardian MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_domain_status? +

Register the SiteGuardian MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_domain_status: 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 SiteGuardian. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_domain_status? +

get_domain_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_domain_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_domain_status 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.

How do I block get_domain_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_domain_status. 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.

What MCP server provides get_domain_status? +

get_domain_status is provided by the SiteGuardian MCP server (https://mcp.siteguardian.io). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every SiteGuardian tool call.
