What dynadot_delete_ns does on Dynadot
AI agents call dynadot_delete_ns to permanently remove resources in Dynadot, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why dynadot_delete_ns is rated Critical
Deleting nameserver records is a destructive operation that cannot be undone without manual restoration. Misuse could remove all nameservers from a domain, rendering it unable to resolve and breaking all services depending on that domain. This has high blast radius for domain availability and is more severe than write operations. Confidence is very high because the description explicitly states 'Delete.'
From the tool's definition Tool name 'dynadot_delete_ns' and description 'Delete a nameserver record' — the verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of DNS infrastructure data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs dynadot_delete_ns safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dynadot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For dynadot_delete_ns, this is the rule to start with:
dynadot_delete_ns is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Dynadot, apply this rule, and every dynadot_delete_ns call is checked against it from then on.
