Control D is a customizable DNS filtering and traffic redirection platform that allows users to manage internet access, enforce policies, and monitor usage across devices and networks.
Tools
Delete Device By Id
Permanently delete a Control-D device/endpoint by its ID. WARNING: This is a destructive operation. Deleting a device will break DNS resolution on any physical gadget configured to use this device's unique DNS resolvers. Use GET /devices to retrieve valid device IDs before calling this action.
Delete Profile
Permanently deletes a Control D profile by its unique identifier (PK). IMPORTANT: The profile must be orphaned (not enforced by any device) before it can be deleted. If the profile is currently assigned to one or more devices, the deletion will fail. Use this tool when you need to remove an unused profile from the account. To check if a profile is safe to delete, first verify it has no associated devices using the Get Devices or Get Profile endpoints.
Delete Profile Rule By Hostname
Delete a custom DNS rule by hostname from a Control D profile. This tool removes a DNS blocking/redirecting rule identified by its hostname from the specified profile. Requires a valid profile_id (obtainable via the Get Profiles action) and the exact hostname of the rule to delete. Common use cases: - Remove a block rule for a specific domain - Delete a redirect/custom DNS rule - Clean up test rules from a profile
Delete Profile Rule By Rule Id
Delete a custom DNS rule from a Control D profile by its rule identifier (hostname/domain). This tool removes a DNS filtering rule from the specified profile. Rules in Control D are identified by the hostname/domain they target (e.g., 'example.com', 'ads.domain.com'). Prerequisites: - Obtain profile_id from GET /profiles endpoint - Obtain rule_id (the hostname/domain) from GET /profiles/{profile_id}/rules endpoint Note: Requires write access to the API (read-only tokens will receive a 403 error).
Delete Rule From Folder
Delete a custom DNS rule from a specific folder in a Control D profile. This action permanently removes a custom rule (e.g., block, bypass, spoof, or redirect) from the specified folder within a profile. Requires valid profile_id, rule_id, and folder_id which can be obtained from: - profile_id: Get Profiles action - folder_id: Get Profile Folders action - rule_id: List Custom Rules in Folder action
Delete Profile Schedule
Tool to delete a specific schedule within a profile. Use after confirming profile_id and schedule_id.
