How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security60
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability0
- Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.Unverified

Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
buy_domain ~346
Creates a real purchase order for a domain with a buy-now price and returns a checkout URL where the buyer completes billing details and payment in a browser. Nothing is charged until the buyer pays there. Only the email is required; name, address and company details are optional and prefill the checkout page — pass only details the buyer explicitly provided or confirmed, never guessed ones. Always confirm the exact domain name, its price (see get_domain_details) and the buyer email address with the user before calling this tool.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| addressCity | string | – | City of the billing address. |
| addressCountryCode | string | – | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code of the billing address, e.g. "NL". This drives tax calculation and available payment methods. |
| addressLine1 | string | – | First line of the billing address. |
| addressLine2 | string | – | Second line of the billing address. |
| addressPostalCode | string | – | Postal or ZIP code of the billing address. |
| addressStateCode | string | – | State or province code of the billing address, when applicable. |
| company | object | – | Company billing details when the buyer purchases as a business. Omit entirely for private buyers. |
| domainName | string | yes | Full domain name including the TLD, e.g. "example.com". |
| string | yes | Email address of the buyer. Order updates and the payment confirmation are sent here. | |
| firstName | string | – | Buyer first name. |
| lastName | string | – | Buyer last name. |
| locale | string | – | Locale for the checkout page and buyer emails, e.g. "en" or "nl-nl". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_domain_details ~85
Returns sale details for one domain listed on the Nameshift marketplace: pricing, availability and whether it can be bought instantly with buy_domain.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domainName | string | yes | Full domain name including the TLD, e.g. "example.com". |
| locale | string | – | Locale used for the returned landing-page URL, e.g. "en" or "nl-nl". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_domains ~351
Searches domains listed for sale on the Nameshift marketplace. Returns a page of matching domains with pricing, plus pagination cursors and TLD facet counts on the first page.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| buyNowOnly | boolean | – | When true (default), only return domains with a buy-now price — the ones buy_domain can purchase. |
| cursor | string | – | Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response (nextCursor or previousCursor). Pass it back unchanged to fetch that page. |
| limit | integer | – | Results per page (max 25). |
| locale | string | – | Locale used for the returned landing-page URLs, e.g. "en" or "nl-nl". |
| maxLength | integer | – | Maximum domain name length, excluding the TLD. |
| maxPrice | integer | – | Maximum buy-now price in major currency units (each seller's own currency). |
| minPrice | integer | – | Minimum buy-now price in major currency units (each seller's own currency). |
| noDigits | boolean | – | Exclude domains containing digits. |
| noHyphens | boolean | – | Exclude domains containing hyphens. |
| query | string | – | Free-text search over domain names and descriptions. A full domain name (e.g. "coffee.com") boosts exact matches. |
| semantic | boolean | – | When true, also matches the query semantically against domain descriptions (e.g. "a name for a coffee brand"). Only useful together with query. |
| sort | string | – | Sort order. "relevance" uses the search score, or domain authority when no query is given. |
| tlds | array | – | Only include these TLDs, e.g. ["com", "io"]. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
