scan_domain | Use this when the user asks to check, audit, diagnose or troubleshoot SPF, DKIM, DMARC, email authentication, email deliverability DNS, why their mail lands in spam, MX, DNS health, blacklist status, or domain/SSL expiry for a domain, or wants to fix what a scan finds (fix records for DMARC and DNS; SPF is diagnose-only) — or whenever a conversation turns to a specific domain's email or DNS setup. params: domain* |
get_report | 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, bla params: domain* |
build_dmarc_upgrade | Use this when the user asks how to move DMARC on from p=none, whether it is safe to tighten DMARC, or what the next DMARC policy step is for a domain (a scan can justify quarantine at most; reject needs monitoring evidence) — and after any report showing DMARC below enforcement. Return a validated DMARC enforcement-upgrade record for a domain. A scan can justify p=quarantine at MOST: the alignment params: domain* |
start_monitoring_signup | Use this when the user asks for ongoing DMARC monitoring, RUA report monitoring, new-sender monitoring, email-authentication alerts or ongoing DNS monitoring of a domain they own. Returns signup_url, a link to a dnsdoctor.dev page that explains monitoring and where the domain owner signs in themselves, and a short message. This call creates nothing and sends no email; the domain is filled in on th params: domain* |
count_spf_lookups | Use this when the user asks about SPF 'too many lookups', the 10-lookup limit, an SPF PermError, or whether an SPF record is valid. Validate an SPF record and count what it costs. Returns `record_valid` (the record parses as RFC 7208 SPF), `findings` (per-term diagnostics), `has_pass_all` (a `+all` that authorizes the whole internet to send as this domain), `multiple_all` (more than one `all`, whi params: domain, record |
validate_dmarc_record | Use this when the user pastes a DMARC record and asks whether it is valid, correct or safe. Validate a pasted DMARC record: parsed tags, level'd findings, and whether it is valid. No DNS lookup — pass the record string itself. `upgrade_record` previews a stronger policy and is capped at p=quarantine: a pasted record carries no alignment evidence, and p=reject is unlocked only by aggregate-report e params: record* |
generate_dmarc_record | Use this when the user asks to create, generate or write a DMARC record for a domain that has none. Build a DMARC record from scratch for a domain that has none, using a validating engine — never compose one yourself. `policy` is none|quarantine|reject; optional `rua_email` (aggregate-report destination), `subdomain_policy`, and `strict_alignment`. Every generated record carries np=reject — the DM params: policy*, rua_email, subdomain_policy, strict_alignment |
check_dkim_selector | Use this when the user asks whether DKIM is set up for a sending platform, whether a specific selector exists, or why DKIM fails. Check ONE specific DKIM selector on a domain — the exact selector the sending platform uses (e.g. `google`, `s1`), which a full scan's common-selector sweep may miss. Returns the verdict, its explanation, and the published key record when one resolves. No fix record is params: domain*, selector* |
parse_dmarc_report | Use this when the user uploads or pastes a DMARC aggregate (RUA) XML report and asks what it says. Parse ONE DMARC aggregate (RUA) report into readable per-source aggregates: who sent mail as the domain, how much, and what share was SPF/DKIM aligned. Pass the file's bytes base64-encoded in `content_base64` (XML, .gz or .zip; up to 2 MiB decoded) with an optional `filename`. Nothing is stored — the params: content_base64*, filename |
check_record | Use this when the user asks whether a DNS change has landed, wants a DNS record looked up, or wants to verify a record they just published — or whenever answering needs the live value of a record. Reads the record from the domain's OWN nameservers (cache-free) and from two public caching resolvers. `kind` is one of spf|dmarc|txt|mx|cname|a|aaaa — pass the kind, not a query name: `dmarc` reads TXT params: domain*, kind*, host, expected_value |
check_reverse_dns | Use this when the user asks about reverse DNS, PTR records, or FCrDNS for a mail server IP. Check one sending IP's forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS): reads the IP's PTR record, then resolves that hostname back and reports whether it returns to the same IP. `verdict` is confirmed (the pair agrees — what receivers want to see), ptr_missing (the IP publishes no reverse record), or mismatch (a PT params: ip* |
audit_spf_includes | Use this when the user asks who can send email as their domain through SPF includes, or wants an SPF supply-chain or third-party sender audit. Audit a domain's SPF supply chain: walks every include and redirect it delegates to, and reports who can transitively send as it. Returns the resolved tree, per-node lookup attribution, the total authorized IPv4 address count, and typed findings — include_b params: domain* |
build_parked_domain_records | Use this when the user asks how to protect a domain that sends no email from being spoofed. Build the three-record hardening pack that makes a NON-SENDING domain unusable for spoofing: a Null MX, a hard-fail SPF record, and a p=reject; np=reject DMARC record. For parked, redirect and brand-defensive domains only — NEVER for a domain that sends any mail, including transactional or one legacy system params: domain*, confirm_no_mail, rua_email |
check_propagation | Use this when the user asks whether a DNS change has propagated globally, or why a record shows in one place and not another. Check whether a DNS change has propagated GLOBALLY: six vantage points (five owner-run probes across four continents plus this server's own resolver) each read the same name through several resolvers, and the grid plus a deterministic verdict comes back. Call it after the h params: name*, record_type, expected_value |
lookup_registration | Use this when the user asks who owns a domain, when it expires, which registrar or nameservers it has, whether it is registered, or whether a transfer or delete lock is set — the WHOIS question. Read a domain's registration from the registry over RDAP: registrar (with IANA id), registration/last-changed/expiry dates, EPP status codes verbatim, nameservers, whether the delegation is DNSSEC-signed, params: domain* |
get_alerts | Use this when a signed-in operator asks what changed on a monitored domain, or what the monitoring has flagged. Read the monitoring alert log for the domains the caller's account monitors, newest first. Requires an API token. Each row carries id, domain, type, check, summary, a deterministic detail map, created_at, email_sent_at, acknowledged_at and delivery_class — a 'dashboard_only' row was deli params: since, domain, type, limit, before |
get_readiness | Use this when a signed-in operator asks whether a monitored domain is ready for the next DMARC step. Read the DMARC enforcement-readiness verdict for ONE domain the caller's account monitors, computed from its aggregate (RUA) report window. Requires an API token. Returns whether the domain is ready to step its policy up, the blockers that say why it is not, the window the verdict rests on, and nex params: domain* |
list_my_domains | Use this when a signed-in operator asks which domains their DNS Doctor account monitors, or what to do next on them. Lists every domain on the caller's account with its state — verified, pending (added, ownership not proven yet) or verification_lapsed (the ownership record was removed, so monitoring is paused for it) — and next_step, the one thing to do next for that domain. Requires an API token. params: none |
check_lookalikes | Use this when the user asks about lookalike, look-alike, typosquat or impersonation domains of their domain, or whether someone has registered a name close to theirs. DNS-only: checks the closest variants of the name and returns facts — how many resolve and how many accept mail, with up to ten resolving names (each with the kind of variant, whether it accepts mail, and same_infra when it points at params: domain* |
get_lookalikes | Use this when a signed-in operator asks which lookalike domains of a monitored domain the watch has found, how risky they are, or for one's takedown evidence. Requires an API token with monitoring:read. Returns the account's watched lookalikes for ONE verified domain, highest threat % first by default: each row has threat_pct, band, the itemized points that make it up, the site facts and, when pre params: domain*, view, sort, q, limit, row_id |
start_email_test | Use this when the user wants to know how a real email from them actually authenticates — whether a message from Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, a newsletter tool or an app is SPF/DKIM/DMARC aligned, why it lands in spam, or to prove DKIM signing works before tightening DMARC. Returns a single-use address (valid about an hour, one message) and a test_id. Tell the user to send one email to that add params: none |
get_email_test | Use this after start_email_test, once the user says they sent the email. Returns status pending | received | expired | error. pending means the message has not arrived (or is still being checked): ask the user to send it if they have not, then call again. received carries result — the sending IP and reverse DNS, STARTTLS, SPF, every DKIM signature, DMARC with alignment and the disposition the poli params: test_id* |
list_email_tests | Use this when a signed-in user asks about email tests they ran before, or how a sender's earlier tests scored. Requires an API token with monitoring:read. Returns the account's own tests, newest first (optionally only those whose From names one organization): each with test_id, status, created_at, received_at, from_domain, score (value out of out_of), dmarc_result and report_url. Print report_url params: domain, limit |
check_bimi | Use this when the user asks how to get their logo shown in Gmail, Yahoo, Apple Mail or other inboxes (BIMI), whether their BIMI setup works, or why their logo does not show. A live read of one host's BIMI setup: the DMARC gate (BIMI needs p=quarantine or p=reject; dmarc_sources names each policy read and why it does or does not count), the published default._bimi record, the logo (fetched and chec params: domain*, logo_url, certificate_url |
add_monitored_domain | Add a domain to the signed-in user's DNS Doctor monitoring and return the ownership-check TXT record they must publish, plus where their DNS is hosted, a provider-specific guide link and, when their provider supports it, a one-click apply URL. Re-adding a domain they already monitor returns that domain rather than an error. Needs a linked DNS Doctor account: until the human has one, or if the host params: domain* |
check_domain_verification | Use this only for DNS Doctor's own ownership TXT challenge on a domain the user already added to their DNS Doctor account (add_monitored_domain). For a TXT record another service asked for (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Shopify or any site verification), use check_record instead. Check whether the ownership TXT record for a domain the user has added is visible yet, and mark it verified when it params: domain* |
get_domain_records | Read the records a domain the user monitors still needs: the ownership check while it is unverified, and once verified the DMARC reporting record plus whether we have OBSERVED that record published. Read-only: it issues nothing — if a verified domain comes back with no reporting record yet, call check_domain_verification once, which issues it. Print every record host and value EXACTLY as returned params: domain* |
