Stop jumping between browser tabs to check registration details. Use `lookup_domain_whois` to pull raw record data into your conversation instantly. Your AI client processes the output immediately. It identifies registrar info and status codes without you needing to manually parse text.

Bulk domain analysis for project security

Handle large lists of suspicious domains using the `bulk_whois_lookup` tool. It processes multiple records at once to keep your investigation moving. This keeps your research efficient. You get structured JSON back for every domain, letting you spot patterns across your infrastructure in seconds.

Check if a domain is still active using `check_domain_expiry` or verify its history with `check_domain_age`. These tools provide the raw numbers you need to assess risk.
