verify_domain

Trigger domain verification. Checks DNS records or other verification method to confirm domain ownership.

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.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows this initiates a mutation without destroying data; the description's 'Trigger' is consistent with that. The added value is the authentication/session requirement, which is real context; but nothing is said about idempotency, whether re-calling restarts verification, propagation delays, or rate limits.

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 blocks with the action front-loaded and the access caveat clearly separated and labeled. No filler; the access note is long relative to the action text but is operationally necessary.

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 values need not be described, and the auth prerequisite is spelled out. What an agent still lacks is the follow-up flow (poll with check_domain_verification) and expectations around DNS propagation timing, but the requirements for invoking it correctly are covered.

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% and the single parameter ('id', 'Domain ID to verify') is documented in the schema. The description adds nothing about the id (e.g., where to obtain it, from list_domains or get_domain), so baseline 3 applies.

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+resource ('Trigger domain verification') and explains what it does mechanically: 'Checks DNS records or other verification method to confirm domain ownership.' However, it does not distinguish itself from close siblings such as start_domain_verification, check_domain_verification, verify_domain_with_credentials, or trigger_verification, so an agent cannot disambiguate from the name+description alone.

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 ACCESS block gives a concrete prerequisite workflow (authenticate via /mcp, or start_login then retry), which is genuinely useful pre-call guidance. It stops short of saying when to prefer this over the several sibling verification tools or what the natural next step is after triggering.

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