Get the EPP/transfer authorization code for a completed domain purchase.
AI agents call get_transfer_code to retrieve information from InstaDomain without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves an authorization code (EPP code) for a domain that has already been purchased. It is a read-only operation that extracts existing data without side effects. While the code itself is sensitive (it enables domain transfers), the tool only retrieves it—it does not execute transfers, modify domain settings, or commit financial obligations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the EPP/transfer authorization code' - a retrieval operation that returns authentication credentials for an already-completed domain purchase. No data is modified, deleted, or financial transactions are initiated.

Get the EPP/transfer authorization code for a completed domain purchase. It is categorised as a Read tool in the InstaDomain MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the InstaDomain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_transfer_code: 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.
get_transfer_code is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_transfer_code 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_transfer_code. 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.
get_transfer_code is provided by the InstaDomain MCP server (nach-dakwale/instadomain-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
