Latest stored DNS reading of one name

ud_get_name_dns
Read-onlyIdempotent

The latest stored DNS reading of one name, with its parking venue. Pass name (such as get.plumbing).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesA full domain name on an ending the catalog holds, lowercased, IDN as punycode. A bare word, a subdomain, an e-mail address or an unknown ending answers 400 `validation_failed` with `reason` and `suggestion`.
fieldsNoComma-separated top-level keys to keep: read, ns, a, aaaa, cname, mx, hasWebsite, parking.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dataNo
metaNoThe day of the answer, and the page cursor of a list.
linksNoLinks of the answer.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description's one added behavioral point is that the reading is 'stored' (potentially stale), but it does not say how fresh the snapshot is or how it is refreshed.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and followed by the required argument with an example. Nothing is wasted, though the opening clause largely restates the title rather than expanding scope.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With an output schema present and full parameter documentation, the description need not explain return values. However, for a tool whose defining trait is 'stored' data, it leaves the freshness/staleness question open, which matters given a sibling like ud_get_meta_freshness exists.

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 coverage is 100%, including the enumeration of permitted `fields` keys and the validation-failure behavior, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description only adds an example value (`get.plumbing`) for `name`, which is marginal on top of the schema.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: the latest stored DNS reading for one name, plus the parking venue it carries. That is clearly distinguishable from a general name lookup such as ud_get_name, though the description never names the sibling it is not.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The phrase 'latest stored' hints that this returns a cached snapshot rather than a live DNS query, but the description gives no explicit when-to-use or when-not guidance and points to no alternative tool.

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