## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability spf-authorizes-github-check-dfbf6107
```

Example prompt: Check whether GitHub is authorized to send email for rallylive.ca — look up its SPF record and tell me if GitHub's include mechanism is in there, plus show me the full record.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, single-call check specifically for GitHub's email authorization in a domain's SPF record. It is ideal for automating vendor integration audits, pre-launch email deliverability checks, or security monitoring for unexpected senders. Prefer this over a generic SPF lookup tool when you only care about GitHub's authorization status and want a structured yes/no verdict with the matching mechanism highlighted.

## Known failure modes

- Domain has no SPF TXT record — returns no authorization with empty record
- Domain does not exist or has no DNS — lookup fails with an error
- SPF record is malformed or exceeds DNS lookup limits — may return parsing error
- GitHub not present in SPF — returns no with the full record for manual review
- Rate limiting or upstream DoH unavailability — may return timeout or service error

## How this service works

Does the domain's SPF record authorise github to send its mail? Reads the SPF TXT record (Cloudflare DoH) and checks for github's include/ip mechanisms, returning yes/no, the matching mechanism and the full record. Confirms a vendor integration is wired for deliverability, or spots an unexpected sender. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no boolean indicating whether GitHub is authorized by the domain's SPF record, the specific SPF mechanism (e.g. include:_spf.github.com or an IP range) that matched, and the complete SPF TXT record as fetched via Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS.
