List DNS records for a domain
AI agents call do_list_dns_records to retrieve information from Cargoshipper without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing DNS records without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that queries DNS infrastructure state. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—even if misused by an AI agent, it only exposes DNS configuration information without enabling destructive or financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'do_list_dns_records' and description 'List DNS records for a domain' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification of data.
