DNS Skills

DNS Skills is a catalog of machine-readable contracts for DNS and domain utilities, built so AI agents can call them reliably. It's published by DomainHelp, which is part of easyDNS Technologies, and its job is to hand agents both a human-readable description and a strict schema for each utility so a model knows exactly how to invoke a tool and read the result back. The documentation lives at dnsskills.md and the utilities themselves execute on the DomainHelp app, so the site is the contract and the app is the runtime.

The problem it addresses is that DNS lookups and domain checks are everywhere in security and infrastructure work, but wiring an agent up to them usually means stitching together a handful of one-off endpoints with inconsistent inputs and outputs. One returns plain text, another returns HTML, a third needs a query string nobody documented, and an agent has to guess at all of it. DNS Skills standardizes that surface. Each skill is described in a way an agent can discover and call without a human hand-holding the request format, which turns a pile of scattered DNS tools into something an automated workflow can depend on.

The core set covers the checks people reach for constantly. What Is My Public IP returns the public address DomainHelp sees, and What Is My DNS Resolver detects the recursive resolver in the request path. Is This a Homoglyph analyzes internationalized domain names and visually confusable characters, which matters for spotting spoofed lookalikes that read as a trusted brand at a glance. SPF Flattener resolves SPF includes and produces a flattened TXT record, useful when a domain has blown past the DNS lookup limit that quietly breaks email authentication. DNS Twister generates and inspects lookalike domain permutations for security review.

Beyond those headline skills there's a longer list of web-based utilities, covering IPv4 and IPv6 lookups, WHOIS, DNSSEC reports, PTR record generation, and more. Together they form a fairly complete toolkit for the routine diagnostics that domain and email operators run day to day, exposed in a shape that both people and agents can use rather than only a human-facing web form. The same check you might run by hand in a browser is available as a callable contract underneath.

Access is designed around machine consumption first. The skill catalog is published as a JSON endpoint, an OpenAPI specification, Markdown documentation, and an llms.txt file, so whatever format your agent framework prefers, there's a contract it can ingest without conversion. Execution happens through the DomainHelp API, while dnsskills.md serves as the readable front door describing what each skill does, what it takes, and how to call it. That mix of formats means the same skill definition works for a code generator, an LLM, and a human reading the docs.

It's aimed at developers building agents and automations that need DNS intelligence, along with security-minded users chasing homoglyph attacks, lookalike domains, and email authentication problems. Anyone who has manually run an SPF flatten or eyeballed a suspicious domain will recognize the value of having those same checks callable on demand by a script or an assistant instead of doing them by hand each time. For a security workflow, having the lookalike and homoglyph checks as skills an agent can chain is the difference between a one-off spot check and continuous monitoring.

A useful way to think about it is as the connective tissue between a general-purpose agent and a set of DNS tools it would otherwise have no clean way to reach. An assistant asked to vet a domain can, in one chain, check whether the name is a homoglyph of a known brand, generate lookalike permutations to see what an attacker might register, and confirm the email authentication records line up, all through skills with predictable inputs and outputs. Because the catalog advertises each skill's contract up front, the agent isn't guessing at parameters or scraping a results page, it's calling a documented endpoint and parsing a defined response. Sitting inside the easyDNS DomainHelp ecosystem also means the underlying utilities are the same ones a domain professional would trust for the manual version of these checks, rather than a thin reimplementation. For a team already leaning on agents for operational work, that turns DNS from a manual detour into a set of building blocks the automation can call whenever it needs them.

The skills are offered through the easyDNS DomainHelp ecosystem and read as community-oriented utilities rather than a boxed commercial product, with no pricing posted on the catalog itself. That makes it an easy thing to point an agent at when you need a reliable DNS or domain check without standing up your own tooling or paying for a heavier platform. Because the contracts are machine-readable and openly documented, adding one of these skills to an existing agent is mostly a matter of pointing it at the right endpoint and reading back the schema it advertises.
