## Facts

- Tool: `get_domain_context`
- Server: Trace (`nikolai-vysotskyi/trace-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/nikolai-vysotskyi-trace-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/nikolai-vysotskyi/trace-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_domain_context",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_domain_context is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries code intelligence data filtered by business domain. It performs read-only navigation of a dependency graph without modifying, executing, or destructively acting on any code or data. The verb 'get' and lack of any modification language confirm Read category. Severity is low because exposure of code structure information has limited blast radius without write/execute capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_domain_context' and description 'Get all code related to a specific business domain' indicate a retrieval operation with no mutation or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_domain_context to retrieve information from Trace without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Trace:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_domain_context": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
