An AI agent misusing this could take a domain offline, break email delivery, disrupt SSL/TLS certificates, and cause immediate service outages. The blast radius is organization-wide and affects all services relying on DNS resolution for that domain.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'dns_reset_records' and description 'Reset all DNS records for a domain to defaults' indicates irreversible deletion/overwriting of all DNS records.
