blackwood_domain_intel
Read-onlyIdempotent

Use when you need a whois or domain lookup, dns records, email security checks or certificate transparency data for osint or due diligence. Do not use for historical whois, registrant personal data (redacted by registries) or port and vulnerability scans. Returns JSON with a domain's registration (RDAP: registrar, dates, status, DNSSEC), DNS records, SPF and DMARC, and recent TLS certificates for 0.02 USDC per call. Typical response time 4000 ms (p95). Category: Data.

Input Schema

certificatesNoInclude issued TLS certificates from Certificate Transparency (crt.sh); true when omitted
response_formatNoconcise (the default when omitted) keeps the JSON short: long fields such as base64 images or audio come back as separate image/audio content blocks and other long strings are cut with a marker; detailed returns the full JSON

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive), and the description adds value beyond them: cost of 0.02 USDC per call, p95 latency of 4000 ms, and confirmation that results are idempotent lookups against public registries. Billing and latency disclosures are exactly the kind of context annotations cannot carry.

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 trigger condition and tightly packed with no filler. Slightly over-compressed — pricing, latency, return contents and category are run together in one sentence, which dilutes scanability, but nothing is redundant.

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 explanation is not strictly required, yet pricing, latency and data sources are all disclosed. The only gap is that 'domain' must be punycode/ASCII, which lives only in the schema — minor for a single-param lookup.

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%, so 'domain', 'certificates' and 'response_format' are already fully documented in the schema. The description mentions certificates as part of the return payload but adds no new semantics such as format constraints or when to prefer 'detailed'. 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?

Names a specific set of resources (whois/RDAP registration, DNS records, SPF/DMARC, TLS certificates) with clear verbs (lookup, checks). An agent can distinguish this from sibling audit-style tools such as blackwood_email_check or blackwood_headers_audit based on the stated scope alone.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicit 'Use when...' trigger list is followed by concrete exclusions: historical whois, registrant personal data, port and vulnerability scans. That is a genuine when/when-not split, so the agent knows both where this tool applies and where it does not.

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