What create_domain does on Vultr MCP

AI agents use create_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.

Why create_domain needs a policy

Creating a domain is a reversible operation that modifies infrastructure state by adding a new resource. It does not execute arbitrary code, destroy data, move money, or perform irreversible changes. The tool fits the Write category: creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_domain' which indicates creation of a domain resource. The sibling tools on this server (add_export, add_ip_whitelist_entry, add_resource_to_collection) confirm this server manages cloud infrastructure where 'create' operations are…

How to control create_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_domain:

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

create_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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_domain? +

Register the Vultr MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_domain: 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 Vultr MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_domain? +

create_domain is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_domain? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_domain 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.

How do I block create_domain completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_domain. 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.

What MCP server provides create_domain? +

create_domain is provided by the Vultr MCP server (rsp2k/mcp-vultr). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Vultr MCP tool call.

Start from Vultr MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
