WHAT IT DOES

What delete_dns_record does on Vultr MCP

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

RISK

Why delete_dns_record is rated Critical

DNS records are critical infrastructure; deleting one cannot be undone without manual restoration. This is irreversible data destruction affecting domain resolution, making it the most severe category. High severity because misconfiguration could cause service outages or enable attackers to hijack domain routing. Confidence is high due to unambiguous 'delete' semantics in both name and description.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a specific DNS record' — this irreversibly removes DNS configuration data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_dns_record safely

delete_dns_record Hidden

delete_dns_record is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
