Why delete_dns_record_by_name_type needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes DNS records, which cannot be undone and could disrupt domain availability, email routing, and other critical services. While not financial in nature, the destructive capability to remove all records of a given type makes this a Destructive category risk with high severity due to potential service outages and recovery complexity.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'delete'; description states 'Deletes all DNS records matching a domain, subdomain (optional), and type.' The use of 'delete' and 'all DNS records' clearly indicates irreversible removal of data.

How to control delete_dns_record_by_name_type

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Porkbun MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_dns_record_by_name_type:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_dns_record_by_name_type"
  ]
}

delete_dns_record_by_name_type disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
