## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 96), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 96), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (Apache-2.0).
  - Actively maintained (last published 16 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 81/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 2303 tokens (~100/item across 23 items; 23 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

### `uptime_check` (~88 tokens)

- `url` (string, required): Full URL to check (e.g. https://github.com)

### `dns_health` (~136 tokens)

Run a comprehensive DNS health audit on a domain — 39 checks across 7 categories: DNSSEC (chain of trust, algorithms, validation), MX & email (PTR, MTA-STS, redundancy), DNS hygiene (SPF conflicts, wildcards, apex CNAME), TTL & SOA configuration, nameserver setup (diversity, lame delegation, EDNS0), CAA certificates, and operational maturity (security.txt, abuse mailbox). Returns an overall severity-weighted score (0–100) plus per-category scores.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Domain name to check DNS health for (e.g. example.com)

### `geo_checker` (~93 tokens)

Check a domain's GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) score — how well the site is optimized for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. Returns three scores (Technical Readiness, Entity Readiness, Answer Readiness), AI crawler access status, structured data analysis, and prioritized recommendations.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Domain name to check GEO score for (e.g. github.com)

### `rdap_lookup` (~158 tokens)

Look up registration data (RDAP — the successor to WHOIS) for an IP address, AS number, or domain name. The query type is detected automatically. Returns the owning organization, network range/CIDR, RIR (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC), country, status, registration/last-changed dates, nameservers, and abuse/registrant contacts, plus the raw RDAP JSON.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): What to look up: an IPv4/IPv6 address (e.g. 8.8.8.8), an AS number (e.g. AS13335 or 13335), or a domain name (e.g. example.com)

### `hosting_report` (~94 tokens)

Find out who hosts a website. Returns the hosting provider, IP/ASN/network owner, server location, DNS/nameserver provider, CDN or proxy detection (Cloudflare, Fastly, etc.), SSL certificate issuer, and mail servers/provider for a domain in one combined report.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Domain or URL to build a hosting report for (e.g. github.com). URLs are normalized to a bare hostname.

### `domain_scanner` (~71 tokens)

Scan a domain's email security posture: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI configuration. Returns per-indicator scores and detected issues so you can see how well the domain is protected against spoofing and phishing.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Domain name to scan (e.g. example.com)

### `dns_change_review` (~187 tokens)

Review proposed DNS changes BEFORE applying them. Compares a domain's current public DNS with a proposed future state, returns a diff, deterministic rule-based findings (SPF/DMARC/MX/CAA/DNSSEC pitfalls, dangling records, mail breakage, etc.) with suggested fixes, and an overall 0-100 risk score. Stateless — nothing is stored.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Domain whose current public DNS will be compared against the proposed records (e.g. example.com)
- `records` (required): The proposed (future) DNS state: either BIND zone-file text or an array of {type, name?, value, ttl?, priority?} records. This is the COMPLETE desired state for the zone — records present now but omi…
- `server` (string): DNS server to use when fetching the current records. Default: cloudflare.

### `bimi_check` (~95 tokens)

Check only the BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) DNS record for a domain — faster than bimi_vmc because it skips the VMC certificate download and validation. Returns the BIMI record at default._bimi.<domain>, logo URL, and authority (VMC) URL if declared.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Domain name to check the BIMI record for (e.g. easydmarc.com)

### `status_page` (~127 tokens)

Read a public status page hosted on nslookup.io status pages. Returns the page name, overall status, per-component status and uptime, and active incidents/maintenance. Look up by slug (pages served at hosted.nslookup.io/<slug>) or by the custom domain the page is served on. Provide exactly one of slug or domain.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string): Custom domain the status page is served on (e.g. status.acme.com)
- `slug` (string): Status page slug (e.g. 'nslookup-io' for hosted.nslookup.io/nslookup-io)

### `my_overview` (~73 tokens)

Get an account health snapshot for your NsLookup.io monitoring: an aggregated 0-100 health score with per-subsystem breakdown (uptime, SSL, DNS, propagation, VMC, WHOIS) plus your current product limits/quota. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

### `my_monitors` (~66 tokens)

List all monitors in your NsLookup.io account across every type — uptime, API, DNS, WHOIS, DNS propagation, SSL certificates, and BIMI/VMC — with their configuration and latest known state. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

### `my_incidents` (~113 tokens)

List incidents from your NsLookup.io monitoring (downtime, SSL expiry, DNS changes, propagation issues, VMC problems) — open ones by default, or the full recent history — plus a per-status/per-source summary. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum incidents to return (default 20)
- `status` (string): 'open' (default) = unresolved incidents (triggered or acknowledged); 'all' = include resolved history

### `my_uptime_history` (~113 tokens)

Get uptime and response-time history for one of your NsLookup.io uptime monitors: availability stats plus hourly buckets over the requested window. Identify the monitor by id or by URL. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Input parameters:

- `hours` (integer): History window in hours (default 24)
- `monitorId` (integer): Monitor id (from my_monitors)
- `url` (string): Monitor URL to match instead of an id (e.g. https://example.com)

### `my_dns_changes` (~82 tokens)

List recent DNS changes detected on your monitored domains, each with its DNS Change Review risk assessment (0-100 risk score, severity counts, added/removed/modified record counts), plus the latest risk per monitor. Requires sign-in to your NsLookup.io account (or an API token).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum reviews to return (default 10)

### `my_certificates` (~67 tokens)
