Integrate Control D with your AI workspace

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.

Explore Triggers and Actions

Bulk Update Profile Filters

Tool to bulk update filters on a specific profile. Use when you need to enable or disable multiple filters at once. Provide a list of filter IDs with desired states.

ActionTry it

Create Custom DNS Rule

Create custom DNS rules for a profile to control domain resolution. Use this to block ads/trackers, bypass filtering for specific domains, spoof DNS responses with custom IPs, or redirect traffic through proxies.

ActionTry it

Create Custom Rules in Profile Folder

Tool to create custom rules within a specific folder for a profile. Use after confirming the profile and folder IDs and preparing rule definitions.

ActionTry it

Create Device

Create a new device (DNS endpoint) in Control D. Each device gets unique DNS resolvers that enforce configured profiles. Requires a valid profile_id from GET_PROFILES. Returns DNS resolver URLs (DoH, DoT) and IPs for configuring client devices.

ActionTry it

Create Profile

Create a new blank profile or clone an existing one. Profiles define DNS filtering rules, services, and settings that can be applied to devices. Use this to provision a new profile before assigning rules, filters, or devices to it.

ActionTry it

Create Profile Schedule

Create a new time-based schedule within a Control D profile. Schedules allow automatic enforcement of profile rules during specified time windows. Use this to set up recurring time periods (e.g., work hours, bedtime) when specific DNS filtering rules should apply. Requires a valid profile_id from GET /profiles.

ActionTry it

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.

ActionTry it

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.

ActionTry it

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).

ActionTry it

Delete Profile Schedule

ActionTry it

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
