Get Domain Report

get_report
Idempotent

Retrieve a domain's stored email authentication and DNS health report for a cheap first look, scanning only when no report exists. Includes SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, blacklist and expiry checks with fixes.

Instructions

Use this for the same questions as scan_domain when a recent report is enough (the cheap first look); use scan_domain when the state must be re-read now. Return the stored report for a domain, scanning once only if none exists yet — the cheap read, and the right default for a first look. Returns the same seven-check report as scan_domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, DNS hardening, domain/TLS expiry, blacklist; each with a status, the observed record and any fixengine fix_record) and the same sender_requirements view, including scanned_at so you can judge staleness yourself. Prefer scan_domain when you specifically need state re-read right now — for example after a DNS change.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses the key hidden behavior: it reads a stored report but may scan once if none exists, which explains the readOnlyHint=false annotation. Also discloses the returned seven-check report fields, sender_requirements view, and scanned_at for staleness judgments.

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 and useful, but somewhat repetitive: 'cheap first look' / 'cheap read, and the right default for a first look' and the scan_domain preference are each stated more than once. Slight trimming would improve it.

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?

Even without an output schema, the description explains the returned report's contents (seven checks, statuses, observed records, fix_record, sender_requirements, scanned_at). Nothing essential for correct invocation is missing.

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?

The single `domain` parameter is fully documented in the schema (100% coverage), and the description adds no further syntax or format details. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries all parameter semantics.

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 (return the stored domain report) and distinguishes it from the sibling by cache semantics. An agent can tell it apart from scan_domain without opening either schema.

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 says when to use this tool (recent report is enough, cheap first look) and when to use scan_domain instead (state must be re-read now, e.g., after a DNS change). The default choice is stated outright.

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