THE RISK

Why gts_block_domain needs a policy

Blocking an entire domain irreversibly cuts off federation and media access for all users interacting with that domain. While it notes 'QUEUED — requires operator confirmation', the action itself is a broad, impactful restriction that cannot be easily undone without deliberate reversal. It falls under Destructive due to the sweeping, non-reversible-by-default nature of domain-level blocking.

From the tool's definition Block an entire remote domain (no federation, no media fetch)

POLICY

How to control gts_block_domain

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "gts_block_domain"
  ]
}

gts_block_domain disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

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

Questions about gts_block_domain

What does the gts_block_domain tool do? +

Block an entire remote domain (no federation, no media fetch). QUEUED — requires operator confirmation in the Nest panel before firing. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Crow MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on gts_block_domain? +

Register the Crow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gts_block_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 Crow. Nothing to install.

What risk level is gts_block_domain? +

gts_block_domain is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit gts_block_domain? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gts_block_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 gts_block_domain completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for gts_block_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 gts_block_domain? +

gts_block_domain is provided by the Crow MCP server (kh0pper/crow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Crow tool call.

Start from Crow, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
