setup_domain_email

Register a verified domain with Proof's email provider (Resend) for sending. The result carries the DKIM/SPF DNS records to publish (resend.dkim_records) and their status. from_email, if given, must be on this domain and is stored as the preferred sender. Proof does not send from customer domains yet: verification emails still come from Proof's own address, and the stored from_email is not used.

ACCESS: needs a Proof account. Authenticate this client (Claude Code: /mcp → Authenticate), or sign in with start_login — a session opens this tool — then call this tool again.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesDomain ID
from_emailNoCustom from email address for the domain

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesMongoDB ObjectId
domainYes
resendNoEmail-sending setup for a domain. Present once email sending has been set up.
statusYesDomain verification status. `verifying` while a check runs; `revoking` while the owner's removal or revocation cascade holds the domain; `reverification_required` after a revoked proof, until control is shown again.
proof_idNoPublic handle of the control proof backing this domain (`ph_ctl_<32 hex>`), resolved through the domain's mirroring asset — the same source `GET /me/assets` reads, so the two surfaces cannot disagree. Null when the domain has no proof, or when its proof predates the registry.
providerNoNever sent; read `detected_provider`. Kept for released SDK types; removed in the next major.
oauth_urlNoSent only by the add when Cloudflare sign-in is configured for the detected provider.
created_atYes
from_emailNo
profile_idNoMongoDB ObjectId
updated_atYes
check_countYes
dns_recordsYes
verified_atNo
proof_statusNoRegistry status of that proof. A domain row can read `verified` while its proof is `revoked` — the row records that control was once shown, the proof records whether it still stands — so a client showing domain control must render THIS. Null means no registry record, which is NOT a revocation.
error_messageNoWhy the last check failed.
provider_nameYes
http_file_pathYes
actual_dns_hostNoThe host serving the zone, when it differs from the provider that verified it.
last_checked_atNo
oauth_connectedYesWhether a Cloudflare connection is stored for this domain.
txt_record_nameYes
for_verificationYes
has_dns_mismatchYes
proof_expires_atNoWhen that proof expires — the signed token's own `exp`. `proof_status` stays `active` after this instant (nothing rewrites it), so a client must compare against the clock to tell a live proof from an expired one. Proofs inside 30 days of expiry are renewed automatically while control can still be confirmed. Carried even when `proof_id` is null (a proof that predates the registry still has a signed expiry); null when the domain has no proof, or its proof never stored one.
supports_api_keyYes
txt_record_valueYes
detected_providerYesThe DNS provider read from the nameservers; `unknown` when none matched.
for_email_sendingYes
godaddy_connectedYesWhether a GoDaddy connection is stored for this domain.
http_file_contentYes
supports_auto_dnsYesWhether the detected provider can create the verification record itself.
email_verificationNoAn email verification of the domain. The code itself is never returned.
supports_api_tokenYes
verified_providersYesEvery provider (or `email`) that has confirmed control.
verification_methodYes`auto_dns`, `manual_dns`, `http_file` or `email`.
actual_dns_host_nameNo
dns_mismatch_warningNoSent only while `has_dns_mismatch` is true.
proof_revoked_reasonNoReason the registry recorded, present only while `proof_status` is `revoked`.
verification_subtypeNoHow a provider verified the domain: by creating the record, or by confirming ownership without one.
email_sending_enabledNoNever sent; read `for_email_sending`. Kept for released SDK types; removed in the next major.
has_provider_credentialsNoSent only by the add: the account already holds credentials for the detected provider.
provider_credential_nameNoSent only by the add, with `has_provider_credentials`.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only say readOnlyHint=false / destructiveHint=false; the description adds real substance beyond that — an external side effect on the Resend provider, the returned DKIM/SPF records that must be published, the auth requirement, and the significant caveat that the stored `from_email` is not actually used for sending. No error/idempotency behavior is described, keeping it at 4.

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?

Front-loaded with the action, then the return payload, then the caveat, then access — a sensible order with no filler. Slight waste in spelling out `resend.dkim_records` and their status when a full output schema already exists.

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?

For a registration tool with an output schema, the description covers prerequisite state, auth, the external provider, and the misleading `from_email` field. Gaps are minor: no statement of what happens if the domain is unverified or already registered, and no failure/repeat-call behavior.

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%, so the schema already documents `id` (Domain ID) and `from_email`. The description does add genuine meaning for `from_email` — it must be on this domain, becomes the preferred sender, and is not yet used — but `id` gains nothing beyond "must be a verified domain", so this sits at the covered-schema baseline.

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 plus the third-party target: "Register a verified domain with Proof's email provider (Resend) for sending." The word "verified" implicitly separates it from add_domain / verify_domain / start_domain_email_verification, though no sibling is named explicitly.

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?

Preconditions are clear: the domain must already be verified, a Proof account is required, and the ACCESS block gives concrete authentication steps. It also warns that passing `from_email` is currently pointless, which effectively guides the agent's choice — but it never names an alternative tool or a follow-up step (e.g. check_domain_email_status).

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