BlackVeil DNS & Email Security Scanner

cymru_asn

Read-onlyIdempotent

Map domain IPs to Autonomous System Numbers via Team Cymru DNS. Returns ASN, prefix, country, registry, and organization for each IP. Flags high-risk hosting ASNs.

A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and open-world behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuine context beyond that: it enumerates the returned fields and discloses the high-risk hosting ASN flagging, which is a behavioral trait not visible in the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short front-loaded sentences: purpose and source, return contents, then the flagging behavior. Zero filler, every sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, the return value needn't be explained, yet the description still summarizes outputs. Combined with rich annotations, the definition is complete for calling the tool; only the lack of routing guidance against siblings is a minor gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents domain, format, and force_refresh. The description adds no parameter-level detail (e.g., what 'compact' vs 'full' means, or when caching matters), so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Map domain IPs to Autonomous System Numbers') and even names the data source (Team Cymru DNS). An agent can immediately distinguish this ASN-mapping tool from siblings like rdap_lookup or check_ptr.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies the usage context (ASN/prefix/organization enrichment) but never states when to prefer this over alternatives such as rdap_lookup or check_mx_reputation, nor any exclusions. Usage is inferable but not guided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
