Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| dns_lookupA | Resolve a domain name to DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA). Supports reverse DNS and propagation checking. |
| ip_infoA | Get geolocation and network information for an IP address: country, city, ISP, ASN, coordinates. Supports IPv4 and IPv6. |
| ssl_checkA | Check the SSL/TLS certificate of a host: validity, issuer, expiry date, days until expiry, subject alternative names, certificate chain, cipher, and protocol. |
| whois_lookupA | Look up WHOIS information for a domain: registrar, creation date, expiry date, nameservers, and domain status. |
| http_pingA | Measure HTTP response time to a URL over multiple requests. Returns per-request latency and statistics: average, min, max, p95, and success rate. |

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct network diagnostic function: DNS resolution, IP geolocation, SSL certificate inspection, WHOIS registration data, and HTTP latency testing. There is no functional overlap between them.
Most tools follow a clear noun_action pattern (dns_lookup, ssl_check, http_ping, whois_lookup), but ip_info breaks the pattern by using a noun suffix instead of an action. Still, all names are lowercase snake_case and clearly readable.
Five tools is a well-scoped set for a network diagnostics server. Each tool serves a distinct purpose and the count is within the ideal range, neither overwhelming nor thin.
The set covers the most common network checks (DNS, IP, SSL, WHOIS, HTTP). Minor gaps exist such as traceroute or port scanning, but for a focused diagnostic tool these are optional additions, not critical missing functionality.
