Tools

• base64_decode

  Decode base64 to UTF-8 text. Accepts the standard and the URL-safe alphabet, with or without padding or line breaks. Fails when the input is not valid base64 or does not decode to text (binary data is not returned). Runs locally.

  shallow
• base64_encode

  Encode UTF-8 text as base64. Set url_safe for the URL-safe alphabet (- and _ in place of + and /, no padding), as used in JSON Web Tokens. Runs locally. Returns the encoded string.

  shallow
• dns_lookup

  Context lookup: Resolve a single DNS record type (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, CAA, or SRV) and return the raw answers. Use for quick, targeted lookups of one record type; prefer dossier_dns for a full multi-type DNS audit in parallel, or dossier_full for a complete domain health check. Queries Cloudflare DoH (1.1.1.1/dns-query) over HTTPS, follows CNAME chains, 5 s timeout. Returns a JSON array of answer objects with name, type, and data fields. On error, returns a string describing the DNS failure.

  shallow
• dossier_ai_crawlers

  Core dossier check: Report a domain's AI-crawler policy — whether robots.txt allows, blocks, or is silent on the six major AI agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, CCBot, meta-externalagent). Use to answer "does this site let AI models train on / retrieve its content?" in a posture audit. Fetches https://<domain>/robots.txt, follows redirects (off-site redirect = no policy), 10s timeout; parses robots groups. Returns a CheckResult; on success { hasRobots, agents: { <agent>: 'allowed' | 'blocked' | 'unspecified' } }. A missing robots.txt is data, not an error (every agent unspecified).

  shallow
• dossier_cors

  Core dossier check: Send a CORS preflight OPTIONS request to https://<domain>/ and return the access-control-* response headers. Use to verify CORS policy for a specific origin-method pair, or to check whether a domain allows cross-origin requests; provide origin and method to simulate a precise preflight, or omit to use defaults (origin: https://domainposture.com, method: GET). Single OPTIONS request via fetch, 5 s timeout. Returns a CheckResult: on success, {status:"ok", headers:{access-control-allow-origin,...}}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_ct_log

  Core dossier check: Discover subdomains visible in Certificate Transparency logs. Use for attack-surface mapping; prefer dossier_full when running a complete audit. Queries crt.sh first, falls back to certspotter; capped at 100 unique subdomains; 10s timeout. Returns a CheckResult with { subdomains[], wildcards[], certCount, source }.

  shallow
• dossier_dkim

  Core dossier check: Probe a domain's DKIM public keys by querying <selector>._domainkey.<domain> for each selector. Use to verify signing configuration or discover active selectors; supply selectors when you know the ESP's selector, or omit to probe six common selectors (default, google, k1, selector1, selector2, mxvault). Issues parallel Cloudflare DoH (1.1.1.1) TXT queries per selector, 5 s timeout each. Returns a CheckResult: {status:"ok", found:[{selector, publicKey, raw},...], notFound:[...]} or {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_dmarc

  Core dossier check: Retrieve and parse a domain's DMARC policy from its _dmarc.<domain> TXT record, returning all tags. Use to audit email authentication policy, verify the p (policy) and rua (reporting) settings, or confirm alignment mode; pair with dossier_spf and dossier_dkim for complete email-auth coverage. Queries _dmarc.<domain> via Cloudflare DoH (1.1.1.1), 5 s timeout; parses each tag=value pair. Returns a CheckResult: on success, {status:"ok", raw, tags:{p, rua, ruf, adkim, aspf,...}}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_dns

  Core dossier check: Fetch a domain's full DNS profile — A, AAAA, NS, SOA, CAA, and TXT records — all in parallel. Use as the first step of a domain audit or when you need a comprehensive DNS snapshot in one call; prefer dns_lookup for a single record type, or dossier_full for all 10 dossier checks at once. Fires six Cloudflare DoH (1.1.1.1) queries concurrently, each with a 5 s timeout. Returns a CheckResult discriminated union: on success, {status:"ok", records:{a, aaaa, ns, soa, caa, txt}}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_dnssec

  Core dossier check: Verify DNSSEC chain-of-trust for a domain (DS, DNSKEY, AD flag). Use to confirm the zone is signed and resolvers accept the chain; prefer dossier_dns for raw record types or dossier_full for the complete audit. Fires Cloudflare DoH DS and DNSKEY queries with DO=1; 8s timeout. Returns a CheckResult discriminated union with { dnssecEnabled, adFlag, ds[], dnskey[] } on success.

  shallow
• dossier_full

  Aggregate dossier check: Run all 10 Domain Dossier checks — dns, mx, spf, dmarc, dkim, tls, redirects, headers, cors, web-surface — in parallel and return all results in a single response. Use when you need a comprehensive domain health snapshot in one call; counts as ONE paywall call regardless of how many checks run. For a single focused check, prefer the individual dossier_* tools to minimise latency. Fires all 10 checks concurrently via Cloudflare DoH or direct HTTPS, 5 s per-check timeout. Returns a JSON object keyed by check id (dns, mx, etc.), each value a CheckResult discriminated union ({status:"ok",...} or {status:"error", reason}).

  shallow
• dossier_headers

  Core dossier check: Fetch https://<domain>/ and return all HTTP response headers, with an audit highlighting missing or misconfigured security headers. Use to review CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy; for redirect tracing use dossier_redirects instead. Single GET via fetch, 5 s timeout, captures raw response headers before any redirect is followed. Returns a CheckResult: on success, {status:"ok", headers:{...}, securityAudit:[{header, present, value},...]}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_llms_txt

  Core dossier check: Detect whether a domain publishes an llms.txt at its root — the emerging convention that gives AI agents a curated markdown index of a site's content. Use in a content-posture audit to confirm a site guides (rather than ignores) AI agents. Fetches https://<domain>/llms.txt, 10s timeout; requires a non-HTML content type and a leading markdown H1 (a catch-all SPA answering 200 with HTML is NOT an llms.txt). Returns a CheckResult; on success { bytes, firstLine }; not_applicable when absent.

  shallow
• dossier_mta_sts

  Core dossier check: Fetch and validate a domain's MTA-STS policy (mode, mx, max_age, policy id). Use to confirm inbound SMTP is locked to TLS for this domain. Resolves the _mta-sts TXT record, then fetches the policy from mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt; 10s timeout. Returns a CheckResult; not_applicable when no MTA-STS TXT is published.

  shallow
• dossier_mx

  Core dossier check: Look up a domain's MX (mail exchanger) records and return them sorted ascending by priority. Use when verifying inbound-mail routing or as a precursor to SPF or DMARC checks; prefer dns_lookup with type=MX if you only need the raw DNS answer without the ranked view. Queries Cloudflare DoH (1.1.1.1), follows CNAME aliases, 5 s timeout. Returns a CheckResult discriminated union: on success, {status:"ok", records:[{exchange, priority},...]} sorted by priority; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_redirects

  Core dossier check: Trace the full HTTP redirect chain starting from https://<domain>/, recording each hop's status code and destination URL. Use to debug redirect loops, verify HTTP→HTTPS upgrades, or audit link shorteners; stops at 10 hops to prevent infinite loops. Follows Location headers with fetch (no auto-redirect), 5 s per hop. Returns a CheckResult: on success, {status:"ok", hops:[{url, statusCode, redirectsTo},...], final}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_security_txt

  Core dossier check: Verify a domain publishes a security.txt (RFC 9116) at /.well-known/security.txt — the standard machine-readable channel for reporting vulnerabilities. Use in a security audit to confirm researchers have a published disclosure route; its absence is a genuine (minor) audit flag. Fetches https://<domain>/.well-known/security.txt, 10s timeout; requires a non-HTML content type and a Contact: field. Returns a CheckResult; on success { contact[], expires, raw }; not_applicable when absent.

  shallow
• dossier_spf

  Core dossier check: Retrieve and parse a domain's SPF record, decomposing it into mechanisms and qualifiers. Use to verify email sender policy, debug delivery failures, or check the 10-lookup limit; pair with dossier_dmarc for full email-auth coverage, or use dns_lookup with type=TXT for the raw record only. Fetches TXT records via Cloudflare DoH (1.1.1.1), 5 s timeout, locates the v=spf1 record and parses all mechanisms. Returns a CheckResult: on success, {status:"ok", raw, mechanisms:[{type, value, qualifier},...], lookupCount}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_summary

  Run the nine DNS, email-authentication and TLS checks on a domain in parallel and return one graded line per check: DNS records, MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM, DNSSEC, TLS-RPT, MTA-STS and the TLS certificate. Use it first when asked how a domain is set up or whether its email can be spoofed; then call the single dossier_* tool for any check you need the raw data for. Each line has the check id, its status, a severity (info, low, medium, high, critical) and a one-line reason, graded by the same rules as Domain Posture. It does not return raw records or fix instructions, and it leaves out the nine web and discovery checks; the full 18-check graded report is linked in the result. Returns JSON {domain, checks:[{id, status, severity, reason}], worst}. Returns JSON with a status field: {status:"ok", data, fetchedAt} on success, {status:"not_applicable", reason} when the thing is genuinely absent, {status:"timeout", ms}, or {status:"error", message} when it could not be determined. Treat not_applicable as a finding and error as unknown.

  shallow
• dossier_tls

  Core dossier check: Fetch and inspect the TLS certificate presented by a domain on port 443, returning chain details and validity period. Use to verify certificate expiry, issuer, Subject Alternative Names, or detect mismatched or self-signed certs; not a full cipher-suite scanner. Performs a TLS handshake from the server edge, 5 s timeout; extracts the leaf certificate. Returns a CheckResult: on success, {status:"ok", subject, issuer, validFrom, validTo, daysRemaining, sans, fingerprint}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_tlsrpt

  Core dossier check: Look up a domain's TLS-RPT (SMTP TLS Reporting) policy. Use to confirm the domain receives reports of SMTP-TLS failures. Resolves _smtp._tls.<domain> TXT via Cloudflare DoH; 5s timeout. Returns a CheckResult; not_applicable when no record is published.

  shallow
• dossier_web_surface

  Core dossier check: Snapshot a domain's public web surface: robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and the home-page <head> metadata (title, description, OpenGraph, Twitter cards). Use for SEO audits, content discovery, or verifying metadata before sharing; for HTTP headers use dossier_headers, for redirect behavior use dossier_redirects. Fetches /, /robots.txt, and /sitemap.xml concurrently via HTTPS, 5 s each; parses <head> with a lightweight HTML parser. Returns a composite CheckResult: {status:"ok", meta:{title, description, og, twitter}, robots, sitemapPresent} or {status:"error", reason}.

  shallow
• dossier_whois

  Core dossier check: Look up the registrar, creation date, expiry date, and registry statuses for a domain. Use for ownership/expiry audit. Queries WHOIS over TCP/43 via the `whoiser` library; 15s timeout. Returns a CheckResult; not_applicable when the registry refuses or redacts the query (common on cloud IPs).

  shallow
• ip_lookup

  Context lookup: Resolve an IPv4 or IPv6 address to its geolocation, ASN, org name, and city/country. Use when you need network or location context for a raw IP address; prefer dns_lookup or dossier_dns for hostname resolution. Queries ipinfo.io with a server-side token — the token is never exposed to callers. Returns a JSON object with fields ip, city, region, country, org, loc, and timezone. On failure, returns an error string describing what went wrong.

  shallow
• json_format

  Validate JSON and re-print it with an indent of 2 or 4 spaces, or minified with indent 0. Use to check whether a string is valid JSON or to make it readable. Runs locally. Returns the formatted JSON, or the parser's error message.

  shallow
• jwt_decode

  Decode a JSON Web Token's header and payload. It does NOT verify the signature, so never treat the claims as trusted on the strength of this tool. Use to inspect claims such as exp, iss and aud while debugging. Runs locally; the token is not stored or sent anywhere. Returns JSON {header, payload, signature}.

  shallow
• url_decode

  Decode percent-encoded text. Fails on a malformed sequence such as a lone % sign. A plus sign is left as a plus; replace it with a space first if the text came from an HTML form. Runs locally.

  shallow
• url_encode

  Percent-encode text for use in a URL query value or path segment (encodeURIComponent rules: everything except letters, digits and - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ) is encoded). Runs locally. Returns the encoded string.

  shallow
• user_agent_parse

  Context lookup: Parse a User-Agent header string into structured browser, OS, device type, and rendering-engine components. Use to identify client capabilities from a raw UA string, e.g. when analysing server logs or request headers; does not perform any network lookups — entirely local parsing. Runs synchronously using the ua-parser-js library with no external calls. Returns a JSON object with browser.name, browser.version, os.name, os.version, device.type, device.vendor, and engine.name fields; unknown fields are empty strings.

  shallow
• uuid_generate

  Generate UUIDs. Version 4 is fully random. Version 7 starts with a millisecond timestamp, so values sort by creation time, which suits database keys. Runs locally with a cryptographic random source. Returns a JSON array of strings.
