# Grokzilla DNS Lookup

> Grokzilla DNS Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from grokzilla.shop, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Performs DNS-over-HTTPS lookups for A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, and CAA record types via Google Public DNS with Cloudflare fallback, rejecting IP literals and private hostnames.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability grokzilla-dns-lookup-c05bf1d9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the MX and TXT records for example.com so I can verify its email configuration.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs programmatic DNS resolution with support for multiple record types in a single call, especially when you need a reliable fallback (Cloudflare behind Google), idempotent deduplication via request_id, or enforcement that rejects private/internal hostnames. Prefer it over raw system DNS for agentic workflows where auditability and cost-per-call predictability matter.

## Known failure modes

- IP literal submitted as hostname — rejected before DNS query
- Private or reserved hostname (e.g. localhost, .internal) — rejected
- Non-existent domain — NXDOMAIN or empty record set returned
- Invalid record type requested — validation error
- Hostname exceeds 253 characters — validation error
- DNS upstream timeout — transient error, retry advised

## How this service works

DNS-over-HTTPS lookup (A/AAAA/MX/TXT/NS/CNAME/CAA) via Google Public DNS with Cloudflare fallback. Rejects IP literals and private names.

## Output

Returns a structured response containing the queried DNS record types and their values for the given hostname, echoing back any provided request_id for idempotency tracking. Results reflect live DNS state as seen by Google Public DNS or Cloudflare DNS.
