How to Audit DNS Security with Copilot

DNS security audit in your IDE with Copilot and ToolRouter.

Tool

DNS Domain

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.

Connect ToolRouter to Copilot

1In your agent, go to Tools → Add a tool → New tool
2Choose Model Context Protocol and enter these details
Server name
ToolRouter
Server description

Server URL
https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp
3Set Authentication to None and click Create

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the DNS Domain tool:

  1. In Copilot Chat: "Run a DNS security audit on our production domain"
  2. Copilot checks records and SSL, reporting security issues
  3. Fix any issues and re-audit to confirm resolution

Example Prompt

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

  • 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
