Get hierarchical map of business domains with key symbols per domain. Auto-builds domain taxonomy on first call using heuristic classification. Use to understand business domain boundaries. For specific domain code use get_domain_context instead. Read-only. Returns JSON: { domains: [{ name, child...
AI agents call get_domain_map to retrieve information from Trace without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs pure data retrieval and analysis of code structure. It builds and returns a read-only hierarchical taxonomy of business domains with associated symbols. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no irreversible actions. The explicit 'Read-only' designation confirms this is a Read category tool with minimal risk if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition 'Read-only' explicitly stated in description; returns domain map and taxonomy information with no modification or execution capability; retrieves structured data about code organization ('Get hierarchical map of business domains with key symbols per domain')
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_domain_map gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trace, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_domain_map:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_domain_map": {}
}
}get_domain_map is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get hierarchical map of business domains with key symbols per domain. Auto-builds domain taxonomy on first call using heuristic classification. Use to understand business domain boundaries. For specific domain code use get_domain_context instead. Read-only. Returns JSON: { domains: [{ name, children, symbols }] }. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Trace MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Trace MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_domain_map: 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 Trace. Nothing to install.
get_domain_map 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_domain_map 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_domain_map. 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_domain_map is provided by the Trace MCP server (nikolai-vysotskyi/trace-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
