# osintverse-community/dnsx

Resolves a domain's DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, TXT, MX, SOA, CAA) through public resolvers

## Install and run

```sh
ot install osintverse-community/dnsx
ot run osintverse-community/dnsx d:example.com
```

The first `ot run` installs the tool after asking once. New to `ot`? See https://otinstaller.com/docs/getting-started.

From an AI agent, through ot's MCP server (`ot mcp`):

```
run_tool {"tool":"osintverse-community/dnsx","inputs":{"domain":"example.com"}}
```

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `domain` | domain | yes |  |  |

## Outputs

Finds: dns_record, ip, domain.

- `domain`: Name servers, mail servers and CNAME targets

## What a run does

- Does not contact the target.
- Does not collect personal data.
- Does not need an account.
- Does not notify the target.
- Usually takes about 10 seconds.
- Publisher's note: Queries go through public resolvers, so the domain's own name servers see the resolver, not you. AXFR is left off on purpose.
- Connects to the internet.

An agent needs the person's consent before running this tool, because it goes online. See https://otinstaller.com/docs/agents#consent.
