AI agents use unlock_domain to create or modify resources in Instadomain. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call unlock_domain repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Instadomain.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

What does the unlock_domain tool do? +

Remove the registrar transfer lock. Requires a transfer_token from verify_transfer_code. Args: order_id: The order ID of a completed domain purchase. transfer_token: Token returned by verify_transfer_code.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Instadomain MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on unlock_domain? +

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

What risk level is unlock_domain? +

unlock_domain is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit unlock_domain? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unlock_domain 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 unlock_domain completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unlock_domain. 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 unlock_domain? +

unlock_domain is provided by the Instadomain MCP server (https://instadomain.fly.dev/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Instadomain tool call.
