Why resolve_dns_records needs a policy

DNS resolution is a passive lookup operation that retrieves DNS records without modifying any data or triggering side effects. The name pattern matches standard read/query behavior. Empty description slightly lowers confidence but the naming convention is unambiguous.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resolve_dns_records' — 'resolve' and 'DNS records' strongly imply a read/query operation against DNS infrastructure. Description is empty, lowering confidence.

How to control resolve_dns_records

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Allcanuse, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for resolve_dns_records:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resolve_dns_records": {}
  }
}

resolve_dns_records is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Allcanuse — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
