How to control list-domains ↓

AI agents call list-domains to retrieve information from Email Sending MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and queries existing domain configuration data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a simple informational lookup that poses minimal risk if accessed by an AI agent, as it only exposes metadata about domains already configured in the user's Resend account.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all domains from Resend. Returns domain names, statuses, regions, and capabilities.' The verb 'List' and return of read-only domain information indicates pure data retrieval with no side effects or modifications.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list-domains gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list-domains": {}
  }
}

list-domains 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 Email Sending MCP — 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.
