Get the list of denied (blocked) IP addresses for an environment.
AI agents call kinsta.tools.denied-ips to retrieve information from Kinsta MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation that queries the current state of denied IP addresses. It has no side effects, does not modify infrastructure or data, and merely returns informational configuration state. Even if misused by an AI agent, reading this blocklist poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition "Get the list of denied (blocked) IP addresses" - retrieves and queries existing IP blocklist data without modification or side effects.
