README (SKILL.md)

DNS Lookup Skill

Resolve hostnames to IP addresses using dig. Provided by the bind-utils package.

Basic Lookup

Resolve A records for a hostname:

dig example.com A +short

IPv6 Lookup

Resolve AAAA records:

dig example.com AAAA +short

Full DNS Record

Get the full DNS response with authority and additional sections:

dig example.com ANY

Reverse Lookup

Find the hostname for an IP address:

dig -x 93.184.216.34 +short

Install

sudo dnf install bind-utils

Usage Guidance

This skill is coherent and minimal: it simply runs dig to perform DNS queries. If you install it be aware: installing requires sudo dnf install (so it’s intended for Fedora/RHEL-style systems), and running the skill will perform outbound DNS requests (normal for lookups). It requests no credentials and has no hidden endpoints. If you need to restrict network/DNS activity for security/privacy, consider that the skill will perform DNS queries when invoked.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: dns-lookup Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw skill 'dns-lookup' is designed to resolve hostnames using the `dig` utility. The `SKILL.md` file provides clear, benign instructions for using `dig` for various DNS queries and includes standard installation steps for `bind-utils` via `dnf`. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, unauthorized access, or prompt injection against the agent was found across any of the provided files.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description say 'Resolve hostnames to IP addresses using dig'. Declared binary requirement is 'dig' and the install step installs bind-utils which provides dig. Nothing requested is unrelated to DNS lookups.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains explicit dig command examples (A, AAAA, ANY, reverse). It does not instruct reading other files, environment variables, or sending data to external endpoints beyond normal DNS queries.

✓ Install Mechanism

Install spec uses the host package manager (dnf) to install bind-utils. This is a standard, low-risk method; no downloads from arbitrary URLs or archive extraction are present.

✓ Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The requested access is proportional to the stated function.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not marked always:true and does not request elevated persistent privileges. Agent-autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but there is nothing in the skill that suggests it abuses that capability.

How to Use

Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
Run the install command in chat: /install dns-lookup
After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /dns-lookup
Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
