Medium Risk

domains_records

Get the DNS records the user needs to configure at their DNS provider. Call after domains_set. You MUST show the returned records to the user.

Part of the ShipStatic server.

domains_records can modify ShipStatic data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use domains_records to create or modify resources in ShipStatic. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call domains_records repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach ShipStatic.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so domains_records only ever does what you allow.

What does the domains_records tool do? +

Get the DNS records the user needs to configure at their DNS provider. Call after domains_set. You MUST show the returned records to the user.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ShipStatic MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on domains_records? +

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

What risk level is domains_records? +

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

Can I rate-limit domains_records? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the domains_records 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 domains_records completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for domains_records. 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 domains_records? +

domains_records is provided by the ShipStatic MCP server (@shipstatic/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every ShipStatic tool call.
