81 tools listed at last check
  • check_mx Look up MX records for a domain. Identifies which mail servers receive inbound email for the domain and which email hosting provider is used (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Proofpoint, etc.). Use when asked which email provider hosts inbound mail for a domain, or to see MX record configuration. Pa
  • check_spf Look up and validate the SPF record for a domain. Lists all IP addresses and third-party senders authorised to send email on behalf of the domain, flags syntax errors, and shows the trust surface (which mail servers are whitelisted). Use when you need to know who is permitted to send email as a doma
  • check_dmarc Look up and validate the DMARC record for a domain. Shows the enforcement level (none/quarantine/reject), alignment mode (strict/relaxed), and aggregate/forensic reporting destinations. Use to determine a domain's DMARC enforcement level, whether it sends aggregate reports, or if it is protected aga
  • check_dkim Look up DKIM records for a domain. Probes common selectors, validates the signing algorithm used for outgoing email (RSA-1024/2048, Ed25519), and reports key strength. Use to verify that outbound email signatures are cryptographically sound. Part of the scan_domain audit.
  • check_dnssec Check DNSSEC status for a domain. Verifies whether DNS is tamper-proof and protected against cache poisoning and DNS spoofing attacks by validating DNSKEY and DS records. Reports whether DNSSEC is enabled and validating. Part of the scan_domain audit.
  • check_ssl Check the HTTPS/TLS posture of a domain: HTTPS reachability, HSTS policy, and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect. Also returns certificate metadata (issuer, expiry date, days remaining, SAN count) read from public Certificate Transparency logs — this describes the most recently LOGGED certificate, which may dif
  • check_mta_sts Check whether a domain enforces SMTP TLS for inbound mail via MTA-STS, protecting against downgrade attacks. Queries _mta-sts.<domain> and fetches the policy file, reports mode (enforce/testing/none) and MX coverage. Use to verify whether inbound SMTP is protected against TLS downgrade or MITM — dis
  • check_ns Audit a domain’s nameserver delegation and redundancy. Identifies the DNS hosting provider and, when the infrastructure probe is available, directly compares parent and child NS sets, verifies authoritative AA responses, and checks required glue addresses. Use to detect stale registrar delegations,

  • check_bimi Check the BIMI brand-logo record at default._bimi.<domain>. Validates the logo URL (l=) and the presence of mark-certificate authority evidence (a=) — the a= tag is a bare URL, so the certificate type (VMC or CMC) is not determined — and verifies the DMARC enforcement prerequisite (p=quarantine/reje
  • check_tlsrpt Check whether a domain has SMTP TLS Reporting (TLS-RPT) configured. Queries _smtp._tls.<domain> for the v=TLSRPTv1 record and validates its reporting destination (rua= mailto:/https:), flagging a missing record, duplicate records, or an invalid/absent reporting URI. Complements MTA-STS by giving vis
  • check_http_security Audit a domain's browser-facing HTTP security headers over HTTPS. Inspects Content-Security-Policy (flagging unsafe-inline/unsafe-eval/wildcards), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and the cross-origin isolation headers (COOP/COEP/CORP), and detects CDN/WA
  • check_dane Check DANE/TLSA certificate pinning for SMTP at port 25. Resolves the domain's MX hosts and looks up TLSA records at _25._tcp.<mx-host>, validating their syntax, usage/selector/matching-type fields and DNSSEC backing on the MX host's zone. The record is reported as present but UNVERIFIED: there is n

Identifies character-substitution and visual-confusion domains registered by attackers. Distinct from check_shadow_domains (TLD variants with auth gaps) and discover_brand_domains (legi
  • check_subdomailing Detect SubdoMailing risk: analyzes the SPF include chain for dangling or hijackable subdomains that could let an attacker send email as the domain. Use when you want to know if an SPF include chain can be hijacked through a dangling domain, or to detect subdomain mailing risk hidden in SPF includes.
  • scan_domain Run a full DNS and email security audit for a single domain. Aggregates every scan-included check in parallel (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, TLS/SSL, MTA-STS, CAA, BIMI, subdomain takeover, and more) and returns an overall security score, NIST-aligned letter grade (6-band A+/A/B/C/D/F), maturity stage,

Use when asked to map third-party or supply-chain dependen
  • analyze_drift Measure whether a domain's DNS security posture improved or regressed by comparing the current state against a prior scan snapshot. Returns a drift classification (improving/stable/regressing/mixed), score delta, and lists of improvements and regressions. Use to answer "did our security score improv
  • validate_fix Re-check a specific security control after applying a fix, to confirm the finding is now resolved. Use only when a fix has already been applied and you want to verify or confirm the remediation was successful — not for initial inspection of a record.
  • resolve_spf_chain Trace the full SPF include chain for a domain. Recursively resolves all includes, shows lookup count, tree depth, and flags circular includes or exceeding the 10-lookup limit.
  • discover_subdomains Find subdomains of a domain using Certificate Transparency logs. Reveals shadow IT, forgotten services, and unauthorized certificate issuance. Returns a CT SAMPLE, not an asset inventory: the count is a lower bound, a host with no publicly-logged certificate never appears, and the result carries a p
  • map_compliance Map scan findings to compliance frameworks: NIST 800-177, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2, CIS Controls. Shows pass/fail/partial status per control.

Reports which algorithm is used for DNSSEC signing keys (RSA/SHA-1, RSA/SHA-256, ECDSA P-256, Ed25519, etc.), flags deprecated algorithms (RSA/SHA-1, DSA), independent of whether the DNSSEC chain validates. Use when asked
  • check_fast_flux Detect fast-flux DNS behavior: performs multiple rounds of A/AAAA queries and checks whether IP addresses are rotating rapidly on each DNS query (a sign of botnet or malicious infrastructure). Compares IP answer sets and TTLs across rounds to identify rapidly rotating infrastructure used to hide mal
