AI agents call domain_status to retrieve information from Idig Dns without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and reports the current state of domain registration locks and EPP status information. It performs diagnostics by querying registrar systems for existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. This is purely informational/diagnostic in nature, consistent with the server's purpose of 'Professional DNS diagnostics'.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Checks' various status fields (transfer lock, delete lock, serverHold, pendingDelete) without any mention of modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The verb 'checks' indicates a read-only query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Registrar lock and EPP status. Checks transfer lock, delete lock, serverHold, pendingDelete. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Idig Dns MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Idig Dns MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for domain_status: 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 Idig Dns. Nothing to install.
domain_status 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 domain_status 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 domain_status. 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.
domain_status is provided by the Idig Dns MCP server (https://mcp.softricks.net/sse). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
