Deleted Domains Search

deleted
Read-onlyIdempotent

Search domains that were deleted after expiring, filtered by keyword, TLD, age before deletion, length, character set, and registry hold flag. Results reflect the latest data update and are not re-checked at query time, so a name may have been registered again since. Confirm with available or bulk_available before registering.

Related: available, bulk_available, whois.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tldNoFilter by TLD (e.g., 'com', 'net', 'org')
holdNoFilter by registry hold flag (has_hold or no_hold). Neither value confirms current availability.
pageNoPage number for pagination
sortNoSort order
typeNoCharacter set filter
lengthNoDomain name length filter
excludeNoNegative keywords to exclude
keywordYesSearch term (min 2 chars). Substring matching applies at every length, including 2-character terms.
positionNoKeyword placement in domain name. Default is 'all' (substring match).
age_rangeNoHistorical age before deletion
no_hyphenNoExclude hyphenated domains
no_numberNoExclude domains containing numbers
tld_count_maxNoMaximum cross-TLD registration count for the name. Integer 0-10000. See tld_count_min.
tld_count_minNoMinimum cross-TLD registration count for the name. Integer 0-10000. Combine with tld_count_max for a range; set both equal for an exact count. Matches the prefix_tld_count field in results.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the read-only/idempotent/non-destructive profile, and the description adds genuinely new behavioral context: results reflect the latest data update and are not re-checked at query time, so a name may have been re-registered. That staleness caveat is exactly the sort of thing structured fields cannot convey, though pagination and rate-limit behavior are unaddressed.

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?

Three front-loaded sentences with no padding; the freshness caveat and the verification step are placed where an agent will read them. The trailing 'Related:' list duplicates sibling names that are already visible in the tool list, a minor redundancy.

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?

With an output schema present and rich annotations, the description needn't explain return values, and it covers the one non-obvious risk (stale results). Nothing essential is missing, though the interplay of tld_count_min/max and the exclusion flags is left to the schema.

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% across 14 parameters, and the description's filter list (keyword, TLD, age before deletion, length, character set, hold flag) largely restates what the schema already documents in detail. No syntax or interaction guidance is added, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 ('Search') and a precisely scoped resource ('domains that were deleted after expiring'), and lists the filter dimensions. This distinguishes it from siblings like expired, active, and available without any schema inspection.

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?

Explicitly says to confirm with 'available' or 'bulk_available' before registering, naming the alternatives and the condition that selects them. It stops short of stating when NOT to use this tool versus 'expired' or 'aged', so it is clear but not complete.

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