WHAT IT DOES

What domain_dns_delete does on CoWork OS

AI agents call domain_dns_delete to permanently remove resources in CoWork OS, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why domain_dns_delete is rated Critical

Deleting a DNS record is a destructive action that cannot be automatically undone and has immediate external consequences. An agent misusing this tool could disable email delivery, break website access, or disrupt service availability. This exceeds Execute severity because the action is permanent and affects production infrastructure outside the local system.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a DNS record from a domain.' DNS records control critical infrastructure (mail routing, service endpoints, SSL verification). Deletion is irreversible and affects external services.

The rule that runs domain_dns_delete safely

domain_dns_delete Hidden

domain_dns_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
