Full domain lookup

domain_lookup
Read-onlyIdempotent

Full report on a domain in one call: WHOIS/RDAP registration, DNS records, live SSL certificate, subdomains (live hosts with IPs first) and email authentication (SPF, DMARC, DKIM). Use it to triage a suspicious domain or profile a company's domain. If one section fails it comes back as an object with an error field and the rest is unaffected. Set wait=true to wait for every subdomain source (up to about 20 s) instead of the fast first result.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld), and the description adds value beyond them: per-section failure isolation ('comes back as an object with an `error` field and the rest is unaffected') and the latency tradeoff of wait=true ('up to about 20 s'). It does not mention rate limits, auth requirements, or cost, which keeps it from a 5.

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 dense sentences, front-loaded with scope, then usage, then the two behavioral caveats. Every sentence adds decision-relevant information and nothing is repeated from the annotations or schema.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not required, and the description still adds the per-section error-object shape. For a read-only open-world aggregator with three params it is nearly complete; the only real gap is the unexplained subdomain_limit and any coverage/truncation limits on the sections.

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 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning. It explains wait=true well (wait for every subdomain source vs the fast first result, ~20 s), but subdomain_limit is never mentioned and domain is left to the schema. Only the most non-obvious of three parameters is covered, so partial compensation.

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 ('Full report on a domain') and enumerates exactly the five data sections (WHOIS/RDAP, DNS, SSL, subdomains, email auth) that map to the five sibling tools, so an agent immediately sees this as the aggregator rather than a single-section lookup. The phrase 'in one call' makes the contrast with the granular siblings explicit.

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?

Gives concrete when-to-use cases ('triage a suspicious domain or profile a company's domain'), which is real routing guidance. It stops short of stating when NOT to use it (e.g., when you only need one section and should call dns_records or whois_lookup instead), so the alternative-selection condition is left implicit.

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