What create_dns_domain does on Vultr MCP

AI agents use create_dns_domain to create or update resources in Vultr MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Vultr MCP environment.

Medium Risk

Why create_dns_domain needs a policy

This tool creates DNS infrastructure that can be modified or deleted later, making it a Write rather than Destructive action. The severity is medium because misconfiguration could redirect traffic or cause service disruptions, but the effect is not irreversible. Confidence is high because the description clearly states creation of a new resource.

From the tool's definition create_dns_domain creates a new DNS domain with a default A record. The verb 'create' and 'new' indicate resource creation, which is reversible (the domain can be deleted). This is a Write operation that modifies infrastructure state.

How to control create_dns_domain

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_dns_domain": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_dns_domain_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_dns_domain stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Vultr 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.
