Why domain_update needs a policy

The tool modifies domain settings (apex domain configuration), which is a reversible change but with substantial blast radius. It does not permanently delete data, making it Write rather than Destructive. However, misconfiguration could impact service availability and redirect traffic, elevating severity to high. The description is somewhat terse but clear enough to classify with reasonable confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'domain_update' combined with description 'Update or move apex domain' indicates modification of critical domain configuration, which can have significant cascading effects on DNS resolution and service routing.

How to control domain_update

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

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

domain_update 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.
