## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 100
- freshness: 45
- provenance: 75
- drivers: +repository +dns-namespace +reachable +uptime-100% -stale-235d
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 70/100 (needs work)

### protocol: 50 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- warn `protocol.transport`: only the legacy HTTP+SSE transport, deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 71 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: dns_lookup (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); blacklist_check (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); email_security_audit (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,492 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 19, about 1,492 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 6d409c7cfe66efec5c55bc1d87f8c8b1
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/net.softricks/idig-dns.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/net.softricks/idig-dns)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (19)

- `blacklist_check`: IP blacklist / DNSBL check. Tests A-record and MX IPs against Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, SORBS, and more.
- `dane_validate`: DANE/TLSA validation: cross-validates TLSA DNS records against the live TLS certificate. Supports all four TLSA usage types.
- `diagnose`: Full diagnosis combining resolution + DNSSEC. Use first when something is broken.
- `dns_lookup`: Look up DNS records for a domain. Record types: a, aaaa, ns, mx, txt, soa, caa, srv, cname, ds, tlsa, https, svcb, any, all.
- `dnssec_health`: DNSSEC health report: key inventory, signature expiry, algorithm assessment, DS at parent, rollover readiness, full chain of trust (Root → TLD → Domain) with chain_intact flag and broken-link identification, warnings, and recommendations.
- `dnssec_validate`: Validate DNSSEC chain of trust. Returns: secure / insecure / bogus / indeterminate.
- `domain_status`: Registrar lock and EPP status. Checks transfer lock, delete lock, serverHold, pendingDelete.
- `email_security_audit`: Full SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI audit with A-F grade and prioritized fix recommendations.
- `geo_lookup`: Geolocation and hosting: country, city, ISP, ASN, CDN detection, is_hosting flag.
- `http_check`: HTTP/HTTPS reachability: status codes, redirect chain, HSTS header, HTTP→HTTPS redirect detection.
- `mx_check`: MX health + provider detection: Google Workspace, M365, Proofpoint, Zoho, 35+ providers.
- `propagation_check`: Check DNS propagation across 16 global resolvers: Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, China, Korea, Russia.
- `resolve_check`: DNS resolution diagnostics. Returns status: ok / nxdomain / nodata / servfail / refused / timeout / degraded.
- `ssl_check`: SSL certificate: validity, expiry countdown, domain match, issuer, chain completeness.
- `subdomain_discover`: Discover subdomains by probing 75 common names plus crt.sh Certificate Transparency logs. Surfaces exposed dev/staging environments.
- `ttl_check`: TTL advisory: flags dangerous TTLs and gives step-by-step migration lowering plan.
- `whois_lookup`: Parsed WHOIS: registrar, creation/expiry dates, domain age, nameservers, EPP status, DNSSEC status.
- `zone_axfr`: AXFR zone transfer vulnerability check. Tests whether any authoritative NS allows public zone transfers (critical misconfiguration).
- `zone_consistency`: Check all authoritative nameservers return identical answers. Catches lame delegation and SOA mismatches.
