## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_dns_record",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own definition: "Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a specific DNS record' — this irreversibly removes DNS configuration data."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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