WHAT IT DOES

What dns_recheck does on TrekMail MCP Server

AI agents invoke dns_recheck to trigger actions in TrekMail MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why dns_recheck is rated High

This tool triggers an external DNS verification process, which is an operation whose effects depend on arguments and cannot be classified as simple data retrieval (Read). It creates transient state (check IDs for polling) and initiates domain verification checks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'dns_recheck' and description 'Trigger an asynchronous DNS verification check for a domain' indicates execution of an external operation (DNS verification).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs dns_recheck safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TrekMail MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For dns_recheck, this is the rule to start with:

dns_recheck Rate-limited

dns_recheck stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
