## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, programmatic DNS lookup for a hostname and want structured JSON output. It is well-suited for agents performing infrastructure checks, domain verification, or connectivity diagnostics where a simple host-to-IP resolution is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed hostname returns an error response
- Non-existent domain (NXDOMAIN) may return empty or error result
- Network timeouts if upstream DNS resolver is unreachable
- Missing required 'host' parameter causes a validation error
