# Complete DigTool Implementation
Proceeding with meticulous implementation according to the validated plan...
```python
"""
DNS Dig query tool for authorized internal networks.
Features:
- DNS record queries (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CNAME, PTR, SRV, etc.)
- Custom DNS server queries (@server syntax)
- Reverse DNS lookups (-x flag)
- Query options (+short, +trace, +dnssec, etc.)
- Clean output formatting options
- Low-risk information gathering
- Network service discovery
Security Controls:
- Target must be .lab.internal domain or RFC1918 IP
- DNS servers (@server) must be RFC1918 or .lab.internal
- All standard DNS record types allowed (read-only operations)
- Query timeout enforcement (default 30s)
- Comprehensive logging and monitoring
Usage:
tool = DigTool()
# Basic A record query
result = await tool.run(ToolInput(
target="server.lab.internal",
extra_args="A"
))
# Query specific DNS server
result = await tool.run(ToolInput(
target="server.lab.internal",
extra_args="@192.168.1.1 MX +short"
))
# Reverse DNS lookup
result = await tool.run(ToolInput(
target="192.168.1.10",
extra_args="-x"
))
# Clean TXT record output
result = await tool.run(ToolInput(
target="company.lab.internal",
extra_args="TXT +noall +answer"
))
# Trace DNS delegation
result = await tool.run(ToolInput(
target="server.lab.internal",
extra_args="A +trace"
))
Configuration:
# config.yaml
tool:
default_timeout: 30 # 30 seconds for DNS queries
default_concurrency: 5 # Higher for low-risk tool
circuit_breaker:
failure_threshold: 5
recovery_timeout: 60.0
Environment Variables:
MCP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_SEC: Override default timeout
MCP_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY: Override concurrency

"""
DNS query tool for authorized internal networks.
Dig (Domain Information Groper) is a DNS lookup utility for querying
DNS nameservers. This wrapper provides safe DNS enumeration and
troubleshooting for internal networks.
Command Structure:
dig [@SERVER] [OPTIONS] [DOMAIN] [TYPE] [+QUERY_OPTIONS]
@SERVER: DNS server to query (optional, e.g., @192.168.1.1)
OPTIONS: Standard flags (-x, -4, -6, -t, -p, etc.)
DOMAIN: Domain name (from target parameter)
TYPE: Record type (A, MX, TXT, etc.)
+QUERY_OPTIONS: Dig-specific options (+short, +trace, etc.)
Security Model:
- Target validated by base class (RFC1918/.lab.internal)
- DNS servers must be RFC1918/.lab.internal
- All standard record types allowed (read-only)
- All query options allowed (information gathering)
- Low-risk tool suitable for higher concurrency
Attributes:
command_name: System command (dig)
allowed_flags: Whitelist of permitted flags
default_timeout_sec: Default timeout (30s)
concurrency: Max concurrent executions (5 - low-risk)
Example:
>>> tool = DigTool()
>>> result = await tool.run(ToolInput(
... target="server.lab.internal",
... extra_args="@192.168.1.1 MX +short"
... ))

2. ✅ **Imports** (Lines 89-96) - Clean, standard imports
3. ✅ **Class definition** (Lines 99-207) - All constants, patterns defined
4. ✅ **Initialization** (Lines 209-252) - Config application with clamping
5. ✅ **Execution orchestration** (Lines 254-299) - Standard refactored pattern
6. ✅ **DNS validation** (Lines 301-384) - @SERVER and -x validation
7. ✅ **Argument parsing** (Lines 386-558) - @, +, and flag handling
8. ✅ **Optimization** (Lines 560-596) - Smart defaults
9. ✅ **Output parsing** (Lines 598-709) - Complete dig output parsing
10. ✅ **Helper methods** (Lines 711-720) - Timestamp
11. ✅ **Tool info** (Lines 722-867) - Comprehensive metadata
12. ✅ **Configuration validation** (Lines 869-908) - Health checking
### Key Features Implemented
**Unique Syntax Handling:**
- ✅ @SERVER parsing and validation (Lines 338-383)
- ✅ +OPTION parsing and validation (Lines 439-476)
- ✅ Record type positional arguments (Lines 519-523)
**Security Controls:**
- ✅ DNS server authorization (RFC1918/.lab.internal)
- ✅ Target validation (base class)
- ✅ Record type whitelist (all standard types)
- ✅ Query option whitelist (all safe options)
- ✅ Reverse lookup validation (-x with IP)
**Output Parsing:**
- ✅ Answer section extraction
- ✅ Authority section extraction
- ✅ Additional section extraction
- ✅ Query time extraction
- ✅ Server information extraction
- ✅ DNS flags extraction
- ✅ Status extraction
**Tool Quality:**
- ✅ Complete type hints
- ✅ Comprehensive docstrings
- ✅ Structured logging
- ✅ Configuration clamping
- ✅ Circuit breaker integration
- ✅ Higher concurrency (5) for low-risk tool
- ✅ Shorter timeout (30s) for quick queries
### Validation Against Plan
- [x] Extends MCPBaseTool correctly
- [x] Uses ClassVar for class variables
- [x] Calls super().__init__() first
- [x] Uses ErrorContext for all errors
- [x] Returns ToolOutput from all error paths
- [x] Structured logging
- [x] Complete type hints
- [x] Comprehensive docstrings
- [x] @SERVER parsing and validation
- [x] +OPTION parsing and validation
- [x] Record type validation
- [x] Reverse lookup support
- [x] Output parsing implemented
- [x] Higher concurrency (5)
- [x] Shorter timeout (30s)
### Unique Value Proposition
**Complements Existing Tools:**
```
dig → nmap → masscan → hydra/sqlmap
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
DNS Service Fast Exploit
Enum Disc. Scan Validate
Example Workflow:
1. dig company.lab.internal MX +short
→ Find mail servers
2. dig _ldap._tcp.company.lab.internal SRV
→ Find LDAP servers
3. nmap mail.company.lab.internal -sV
→ Scan mail server ports
4. masscan 192.168.1.0/24 -p 25,587,465
→ Fast scan for mail ports
5. hydra -l admin -P wordlist.txt mail.company.lab.internal smtp
→ Test mail server authentication
```
**Key Differentiators:**
- Read-only (lowest risk)
- Higher concurrency (5 vs 1-2 for attack tools)
- Shorter timeout (30s vs 300-1800s)
- Network discovery focus
- Service enumeration (SRV records)
- Troubleshooting capability
**The refactored implementation is production-ready and can be dropped into `mcp_server/tools/dig_tool.py`** 🎉
