ripe_whois_query
Query the RIPE NCC database to retrieve complete object details in RPSL format for domains, IPs, ASNs, or other identifiers in the Europe/Middle East/Central Asia region.
Instructions
Perform raw WHOIS queries against the RIPE NCC database to get complete object information in RPSL format. This tool is specifically for the RIPE RIR (Europe/Middle East/Central Asia region). Use ONLY when you need full object details or administrative data from RIPE. DO NOT use for contact information - use ripe_contact_card for abuse, NOC, admin, or tech contacts. DO NOT use for route validation - use ripe_validate_route_object for checking if route objects exist. DO NOT use for AS-SET expansion - use ripe_expand_as_set for getting ASN lists. This returns raw RIPE database records with all attributes for detailed analysis.
