Why get_domain needs a policy

This tool queries and returns information about a DNS domain without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it might expose domain configuration details that are typically discoverable through other means.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_domain' and description 'Get details for a specific DNS domain' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control get_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 get_domain:

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

get_domain 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 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.
