Delete a DNS record. On GoDaddy, deletes ALL records of same type+name (API limitation).
AI agents call delete_dns_record to permanently remove resources in Domain Suite — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes DNS records without the ability to undo the action. DNS records are critical infrastructure for domain functionality (routing, mail delivery, DNSSEC, etc.). Deleting them can cause immediate outages and service disruption. The bulk deletion behavior on GoDaddy ('ALL records of same type+name') amplifies the destructive potential.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description explicitly states 'Delete a DNS record' with the caveat that it 'deletes ALL records of same type+name' on GoDaddy, indicating irreversible removal of data.
