Why whmcs_register_domain needs a policy

Registering a domain with a registrar commits a financial obligation — domain registration fees are charged to the account. This is an external financial transaction that cannot be trivially undone (domains, once registered, typically require a full registration period payment). The context of a WHMCS billing/hosting management system reinforces the financial nature of this action.

How to control whmcs_register_domain

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "whmcs_register_domain": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to whmcs_register_domain is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Whmcs — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
