Rewrite 4 underspecified tool descriptions

State each tool's behavior, explain every parameter, and declare return semantics, prioritizing tools exercised by failed selection tasks.

Description evidence

Defects and rewrites.

4 defects found across the exposed tool descriptions. Suggested rewrites make purpose, inputs, boundaries, and returns easier for an agent to understand.

Tool Defect types Suggested rewrite
reverse_dns
no_return_description
Perform a reverse DNS (PTR) lookup on an IP address. Returns the hostname(s) associated with the IP, or an empty result if no PTR record exists.
resolve_all
name_restates_behavior no_return_description
Query a domain for its A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, and CNAME records in a single call instead of issuing separate lookups. Returns an object mapping each record type to its resolved values (or empty/absent if none exist).
check_nameservers
no_return_description
Get the nameserver (NS) records for a domain. Returns the list of authoritative nameserver hostnames configured for the domain.
whois
no_return_description
Query WHOIS data for a domain, using IANA and following referrals to registrar WHOIS servers. Returns the raw WHOIS record text, including registrar, registration/expiration dates, and nameserver information.

Selection evidence

Confusable tool pairs.

1 pair where similar names or overlapping descriptions may send an agent toward the wrong tool.

Tool A Tool B Confidence Why they collide
dns_lookup reverse_dns low dns_lookup supports a PTR record type option that overlaps conceptually with reverse_dns's purpose, but dns_lookup requires a domain input while reverse_dns requires an ip input, so a task asking to resolve an IP to a hostname would clearly need an ip parameter, making the correct tool choice fairly unambiguous despite the shared PTR concept.
