Trigger DNS verification for a custom domain. Call after the user has configured DNS records from domains_records. Verification is asynchronous — the domain status updates once DNS propagates.
Part of the ShipStatic MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call domains_verify to retrieve information from ShipStatic without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though domains_verify only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Trigger DNS verification for a custom domain. Call after the user has configured DNS records from domains_records. Verification is asynchronous — the domain status updates once DNS propagates.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ShipStatic MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for domains_verify. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the ShipStatic MCP server.
domains_verify is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the domains_verify rule in your Intercept 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for domains_verify. 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.
domains_verify is provided by the ShipStatic MCP server (@shipstatic/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
