Dns Lookup

BenignClawScan verdict for this skill. Analyzed May 1, 2026, 5:18 AM.

Analysis

This is a narrow DNS lookup skill using the standard `dig` tool; the main user-visible considerations are normal DNS queries and an optional system package install.

GuidanceThis skill appears safe and narrowly scoped for DNS lookups. Before installing, confirm you trust your OS package repositories if you need to install `bind-utils`, and avoid querying sensitive internal hostnames unless you are comfortable with those names being visible to your DNS resolver.

Tool Misuse and Exploitation

SKILL.md
dig example.com A +short

The skill instructs use of the local `dig` command to perform DNS lookups. This is central to the stated purpose, but DNS queries may be visible to the user's configured resolver or network.

User impactHostnames or IPs you ask it to look up may be exposed through normal DNS resolution paths.
RecommendationUse it for domains or IP addresses you are comfortable querying, and review commands before using unusual record types such as `ANY`.

sudo dnf install bind-utils

The skill provides a setup command that installs an operating-system package with elevated privileges. This is purpose-aligned because `bind-utils` provides `dig`, but it depends on the user's configured package repositories.

User impactInstalling the dependency can modify local system packages and requires trust in the configured OS package source.
RecommendationInstall `bind-utils` only from trusted repositories and only if `dig` is not already available.
