ASN lookup

asn_lookup
Read-only

Resolves a public IP address, or a domain, to the autonomous system that announces it: AS number and name, announced prefix, country code, registry and allocation date. Distinguishes hosting providers, CDNs and corporate networks; it does not identify the site owner. Private and reserved addresses have no announcing AS. ip_geolocation returns the same AS data plus country and PTR. Anonymous, rate-limited per IP.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, but the description adds behavior they do not cover: rate limiting per IP, anonymous operation, the negative case of private/reserved addresses returning no AS, and the interpretive limit that hosting/CDN/corporate classification does not identify an owner.

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?

Information-dense and front-loaded with the core verb and return set, then constraints. Slightly packed into two long clauses, but no sentence is filler and nothing is buried.

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

Completeness5/5

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

An output schema exists, so return formatting is not the description's burden. For a single-parameter read tool, the description covers scope, exclusions, sibling routing, rate limits and negative cases — sufficient for correct invocation.

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?

Only one parameter and schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents 'Public IP address or domain name'. The description restates the accepted input types but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema; 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 and resource (resolve IP/domain to its announcing autonomous system) and enumerates exactly what is returned: AS number and name, prefix, country code, registry, allocation date. It also carves out its niche against siblings by clarifying what it does not do ('does not identify the site owner').

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?

Explicitly routes the agent: 'ip_geolocation returns the same AS data plus country and PTR', giving a concrete condition for choosing the sibling instead. Also states when it is not applicable (private/reserved addresses have no announcing AS) and flags the anonymous, rate-limited-per-IP constraint.

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