How to control remove-domain ↓

AI agents call remove-domain to permanently remove resources in Email Sending MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool irreversibly deletes a domain configuration, causing service disruption. While not directly deleting user data, it destroys operational infrastructure that cannot be recovered. This is irreversible destruction, making it Destructive rather than Write. Severity is high because misconfiguration or social engineering could disable email services entirely for an organization.

From the tool's definition 'Remove a domain by ID from Resend' and 'removing a domain is irreversible and will stop all email sending/receiving for that domain'—this permanently deletes infrastructure and cannot be undone.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remove-domain gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Email Sending MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove-domain:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove-domain"
  ]
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register Email Sending MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the remove-domain tool do? +

Remove a domain by ID from Resend. Before using this tool, you MUST double-check with the user that they want to remove this domain. Reference the NAME of the domain when double-checking, and warn the user that removing a domain is irreversible and will stop all email sending/receiving for that domain. You may only use this tool if the user explicitly confirms they want to remove the domain after you double-check. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Email Sending MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on remove-domain? +

Register the Email Sending MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove-domain: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Email Sending MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is remove-domain? +

remove-domain is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit remove-domain? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove-domain rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block remove-domain completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for remove-domain. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides remove-domain? +

remove-domain is provided by the Email Sending MCP server (resend/resend-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Email Sending MCP tool call.
