dossier_mta_sts 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 dossier_mta_sts to retrieve information from Drwho Me developer tools 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 dossier_mta_sts 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 dossier_mta_sts only ever does what you allow.

What does the dossier_mta_sts tool do? +

Core dossier check: Fetch and validate a domain's MTA-STS policy (mode, mx, max_age, policy id). Use to confirm inbound SMTP is locked to TLS for this domain. Resolves the _mta-sts TXT record, then fetches the policy from mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt; 10s timeout. Returns a CheckResult; not_applicable when no MTA-STS TXT is published.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Drwho Me developer tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on dossier_mta_sts? +

Register the Drwho Me developer tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dossier_mta_sts: 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 Drwho Me developer tools. Nothing to install.

What risk level is dossier_mta_sts? +

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

Can I rate-limit dossier_mta_sts? +

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

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

dossier_mta_sts is provided by the Drwho Me developer tools MCP server (https://drwho.me/mcp/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Drwho Me developer tools tool call.
