windows_dns_cache
AI agents call windows_dns_cache to retrieve information from Velociraptor MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
DNS cache queries are non-destructive forensic operations that retrieve cached DNS resolution data from Windows systems. Typical uses in incident response are to inspect historical network resolutions for threat hunting or timeline analysis. This is a read operation with no side effects on the system.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'windows_dns_cache', which queries DNS cache data. No description provided, but naming convention and context within forensics/incident response suite indicates read-only retrieval of system DNS cache information.
