Why search_domain needs a policy

This tool retrieves threat intelligence information about a domain from Kaspersky's OpenTIP API. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify or delete data, and does not commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gather threat intelligence data that may already be publicly available, posing no direct risk to systems or data integrity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get threat intelligence data about a web domain' — this is a retrieval/query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external systems.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_domain gives an agent:

How to control search_domain

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Kaspersky OpenTIP MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_domain:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_domain": {}
  }
}

search_domain is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Kaspersky OpenTIP MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
