## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability is-dns-hosted-by-gandi-4cb2dac3
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether example.com has its DNS hosted by Gandi — I need to know the nameservers and which ones matched Gandi's patterns?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to detect whether Gandi is the DNS hosting provider for a domain, as opposed to a generic NS lookup. It is purpose-built for vendor detection use cases such as sales prospecting, infrastructure audits, or migration planning, and returns structured match results rather than raw DNS data. Prefer it over general DNS tools when Gandi-specific pattern matching and yes/no answers are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — NS lookup returns empty or NXDOMAIN
- Cloudflare DoH is unreachable — timeout or network error
- Domain uses no nameservers (not delegated) — returns no NS records
- Gandi changes their nameserver patterns — false negatives on matches
- Invalid domain name input — query may fail or return unexpected results

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by gandi? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against gandi's nameserver patterns, returning yes/no, the nameservers and which ones matched. Vendor detection for sales, migration and security work. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no answer indicating whether the domain's DNS is hosted by Gandi, the full list of NS records discovered via Cloudflare DoH, and the subset of nameservers that matched Gandi's known nameserver patterns.
