## Why VPS_deletePTRRecordV1 is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes PTR records, which cannot be undone without manual reconfiguration. While not as critical as data deletion, it irreversibly modifies DNS infrastructure which could impact email deliverability, reverse DNS authentication, and network operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a PTR (Pointer) record' and 'Once deleted, reverse DNS lookups...will no longer return the previously configured hostname.' This is an irreversible deletion of DNS configuration."

## Use case

AI agents call VPS_deletePTRRecordV1 to permanently remove resources in Hostinger Api, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hostinger Api:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "VPS_deletePTRRecordV1"
  ]
}
```
