WHOIS

whois

Read-only

Retrieves WHOIS registration data for a domain: registrar, creation, update and expiry dates, EPP status codes, nameservers and the contact roles the registry still publishes (personal data is usually redacted). tldSupported=false means the TLD has no queryable WHOIS server, which differs from an unregistered domain (found=false). domain_expiry returns the expiry with the remaining days computed. Anonymous, rate-limited per IP.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint; the description goes well beyond them by disclosing anonymity, per-IP rate limiting, routine redaction of personal data, and the important failure-mode distinction between 'no WHOIS server for this TLD' and 'domain not registered'. This is exactly the behavioral 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?

Three dense sentences, front-loaded with what is retrieved, then edge-case semantics, then operational constraints. Nothing is wasted, though the tldSupported/found explanation partially duplicates ground a return-value schema exists to cover.

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?

For a one-parameter read tool with annotations and an output schema, the description supplies everything needed for correct interpretation: result semantics, the meaning of absent data, redaction behavior, and rate-limit expectations.

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% for the single 'domain' parameter, and the description adds no format or syntax detail beyond the schema's own example. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the documentation work.

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 ('Retrieves WHOIS registration data for a domain') and enumerates exactly what comes back (registrar, dates, EPP status, nameservers, contact roles). It also separates itself from the nearest sibling by noting that 'domain_expiry returns the expiry with the remaining days computed', and disambiguates tldSupported=false from found=false.

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?

Usage is implied by the content it returns, and the domain_expiry mention hints at where overlapping data lives, but there is no explicit 'use this when / use X instead when' routing among the 19 siblings. An agent must infer when WHOIS is preferable to check_dns or domain_expiry.

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