## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability dns-ttl-audit-c56da7bc
```

Example prompt: Before I switch hosting providers for acmecorp.com next week, can you audit the DNS TTL values for all its A, AAAA, MX, NS, and TXT records and flag any that are too high to safely cut over?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a consolidated TTL audit across all major DNS record types (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT) with human-readable migration guidance, rather than doing individual per-record lookups. Ideal for pre-migration planning, diagnosing slow propagation, or periodic DNS hygiene checks. Prefer over raw DNS lookup endpoints when you need actionable commentary on TTL safety, not just raw values.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or is unresolvable — returns empty or error response
- DNS records of a specific type are absent for the domain — that record type may be omitted or null
- Network timeout if DNS resolution is slow
- Invalid or malformed domain name input returns an error
- Domain uses private or non-public DNS and records are not reachable

## How this service works

DNS TTL audit: the cache time-to-live for A, AAAA, MX, NS and TXT records with plain-English notes on which are too high for a safe migration and which are unusually low. Plan DNS cutovers with confidence. $0.01 per domain.

## Output

Returns TTL values (in seconds) for A, AAAA, MX, NS, and TXT DNS records, accompanied by plain-English notes identifying which TTL values are dangerously high for a safe migration window and which are unusually low, enabling confident planning of DNS cutovers.
