Look Up DNS Records
Query DNS records for any domain to inspect A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, and NS configurations.
Audit DNS Security
Review DNS configuration for security issues including missing records, open resolvers, and misconfigured entries.
Quick answer: Use the DNS Domain tool through ToolRouter to audit dns security directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolDNS misconfigurations are a common attack vector. Missing SPF records let anyone spoof your email. Dangling CNAME records pointing to decommissioned services can be hijacked. Wildcard records can expose internal subdomains. These issues are easy to miss and expensive to exploit.
Using lookup_dns and check_ssl together, you can audit your domain for common security issues. Check for missing or misconfigured records, verify that SSL certificates are valid and properly chained, and identify entries that could be exploited by attackers.
How to audit dns security with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw
Claude turns DNS investigation into a deep, conversational security review where each finding leads naturally to the next check. Ask Claude to look up your records, chain that into an SSL verification, cross-reference with email authentication settings, and explain the security implications of every configuration detail it finds. Its analytical reasoning makes it ideal for thorough domain audits where understanding the "why" behind each record matters as much as seeing the data.

How to audit dns security with Claude
Once connected (see setup above), use the DNS Domain tool:
- Ask Claude: "Audit the DNS security for example.com using dns-domain -- check for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities"
- Claude checks DNS records and SSL certificates, flagging issues
- Address any security findings Claude identifies
Example prompt for Claude
Try this with Claude using the DNS Domain tool
Run a DNS security audit on example.com. Check for missing SPF records, dangling CNAMEs, SSL issues, and any other security concerns.
Tips for Claude
- Ask Claude to prioritize findings by severity
- Run audits regularly as part of your security review process
- Check subdomains too -- they often have stale or insecure configurations
ChatGPT makes DNS management accessible by explaining complex record configurations in clear, plain language that anyone on your team can understand. It excels at producing structured reports that translate DNS findings into actionable recommendations, complete with risk assessments and step-by-step remediation instructions. Ideal for generating domain health reports that can be shared with stakeholders who may not have deep infrastructure expertise.

Copilot integrates DNS checks directly into your development workflow, letting you verify domain configurations without leaving your editor. Validate DNS changes immediately after applying Terraform updates, check SSL certificates as part of your deployment verification, and verify email records when onboarding new sending providers. This tight integration with your infrastructure-as-code workflow catches configuration drift before it causes production issues.

How to audit dns security with Copilot
Once connected (see setup above), use the DNS Domain tool:
- In Copilot Chat: "Run a DNS security audit on our production domain"
- Copilot checks records and SSL, reporting security issues
- Fix any issues and re-audit to confirm resolution
Example prompt for Copilot
Try this with Copilot using the DNS Domain tool
Audit DNS security for all our production domains. Flag any missing security records or certificate issues.
Tips for Copilot
- Include DNS security audits in your pre-deployment checklists
- Copilot can audit multiple domains in one session
- Combine with pentest tools for a more comprehensive security review
OpenClaw automates DNS monitoring into a systematic scanning workflow that covers records, SSL certificates, and email authentication in one sweep. Run comprehensive domain audits across all your production domains in a single session, compare current configurations against your documented baselines, and detect drift or unauthorized changes. Its batch approach is ideal for organizations managing dozens of domains that need regular infrastructure health checks.
