Domain WHOIS (RDAP)

domain_whois

Registration data of a domain from RDAP, the official WHOIS successor: registrar, creation, update and expiry dates, status codes, nameservers, DNSSEC and registrant organisation/country where public. Says whether an unregistered name looks available. Use for domain research, due diligence or phishing checks.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It adds meaningful context about the RDAP source and what fields are exposed where public, and notes an availability signal, but it omits rate limits, error behavior, and any caveats around availability inference.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded: it first states the source and returned data, then adds availability and use cases. Every sentence contributes useful information without repetition.

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?

Given the output schema exists, the description need not explain return values and instead covers source, fields, availability, and use cases well. The main remaining gaps are input format details and behavioral limits, but overall it is complete enough for this relatively simple one-parameter tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single parameter has no schema description. The description does not clarify whether the domain must be bare, may include a subdomain, supports IDNs, or must omit scheme/path, leaving format ambiguity for the only required input.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly identifies the resource and scope: registration data for a domain from RDAP, with specific returned fields. It does not explicitly distinguish this tool from nearby siblings such as domain_availability or dns_lookup, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives concrete usage contexts: domain research, due diligence, and phishing checks. It does not state when not to use the tool or name alternatives, but the intended usage is clear.

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