Example prompt: Can you check whether Gusto is authorized to send email for acmecorp.com by looking up its SPF record?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly verify whether Gusto specifically is authorized as an email sender for a domain, as part of deliverability audits, vendor integration checks, or security reviews. Prefer it over generic SPF parsers when the sole question is Gusto authorization — it returns a direct yes/no answer with the matching mechanism rather than raw DNS data requiring further interpretation. Ideal for automated compliance pipelines or agent-driven email configuration audits.

## Known failure modes

- Domain has no SPF TXT record — returns no authorization with empty record
- Domain does not exist or has no DNS — DNS lookup failure
- SPF record is malformed or exceeds lookup limit — parsing error returned
- Network/DoH timeout from Cloudflare resolver
- Domain parameter missing or invalid — request rejected

## How this service works

Does the domain's SPF record authorise gusto to send its mail? Reads the SPF TXT record (Cloudflare DoH) and checks for gusto'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 Gusto is authorized by the domain's SPF record, the specific SPF mechanism that matched (e.g. include:gusto.com or an IP range), and the complete raw SPF TXT record retrieved via Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS.
