## 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 skill-audit-dns-lookup-api-3102ba2e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the DNS records for example.com and tell me whether it has MX, SPF, and DMARC records configured?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call DNS lookup with email security flag analysis (MX/SPF/DMARC) via x402 micropayments on Base. Prefer it over manual DNS tools when you need programmatic access within an agent pipeline to audit domain email configuration.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — returns empty record arrays
- Network timeout reaching DNS resolver
- Invalid domain format in request body
- Hugging Face Space is sleeping/cold-starting — may cause latency spike or timeout
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment layer

## How this service works

Resolve a domain's DNS records (A/AAAA/MX/NS/TXT/CNAME) and flag basic email/security posture

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the queried domain name, its DNS records (A, MX, TXT arrays), and boolean security flags indicating whether MX, SPF, and DMARC records are present.
