MXToolbox connects to a Nagent workspace with an API key. Once it is connected, agents can call 13 MXToolbox actions, such as "Lookup BIMI Record", "Lookup Blacklist" and "Lookup DKIM Record". Nothing is enabled on connect: each action is allowed one at a time, and an action with side effects runs or waits for a person according to the agent's level.
Every operation an agent can call against MXToolbox, with input parameters and output schema.
MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_BIMI_RECORDRetrieves BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) record and diagnostic information for a domain. BIMI allows organizations to display verified logos in email clients. This tool checks: - Whether a BIMI record exists at default._bimi.{domain} - DMARC policy requirements (quarantine or reject needed for BIMI) - DNS resolution details and nameserver information - Related diagnostic checks and recommendations Returns comprehensive lookup data including passed/failed checks, DMARC records, DNS transcript, and related lookups. Use when verifying email branding configuration or troubleshooting BIMI implementation.
Input parameters
The domain to perform BIMI lookup on (e.g., 'example.com', 'google.com').
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_BLACKLISTTool to perform a blacklist check on a domain or IP. Use when you need to verify whether a domain or IP is listed in common blacklists.

The domain name or IP address to lookup in blacklists Must be a bare hostname or IP address without protocol prefixes (e.g., no 'http://') or path suffixes.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DKIMTool to retrieve DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) records for a domain. DKIM is an email authentication method that helps prevent email spoofing by allowing the receiver to verify that an email was actually sent and authorized by the owner of that domain. Use this tool to verify DKIM configuration and troubleshoot email authentication issues.
Input parameters
DKIM record name in DNS format: 'selector._domainkey.domain' (e.g., 'google._domainkey.google.com' where 'google' is the selector). This is the full DNS hostname for the DKIM TXT record. Common selectors include 'default', 'google', 'k1', 's1', 's2', or 'email'.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DMARCRetrieves DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) records for a domain and performs validation checks. Returns detailed information about the DMARC record including policy settings (reject/quarantine/none), reporting addresses, alignment modes, and diagnostic check results. Useful for verifying email authentication configuration and troubleshooting email delivery issues.
Input parameters
The domain to lookup DMARC record for. Must be a bare hostname (e.g., 'example.com') without protocol prefixes ('https://') or path components.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DNSPerforms comprehensive DNS health check and retrieves name server records for a domain. Returns detailed diagnostics including: - Name server (NS) records with IP addresses, TTL, and status - DNS configuration health checks (warnings, errors, passed tests) - Query transcripts showing DNS resolution path - Related lookup suggestions (A, MX, SPF records) Use this to diagnose DNS issues, verify name server configurations, or check DNS propagation status.
Input parameters
Domain to perform DNS lookup on, for example 'google.com' Bare hostname only — no protocols (e.g., 'http://'), subpath, or trailing slashes.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_HTTPTool to perform an HTTP test on a domain. Use when you need to assess HTTP connectivity and status for a given domain.
Input parameters
The domain to perform HTTP diagnostics on (e.g., 'example.com'). Do not include protocol or paths.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action

Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_PINGPerforms a ping test to check network connectivity and measure round-trip time to a domain or IP address. Returns detailed ping statistics including response time, TTL (Time-To-Live), packet size, and ASN (Autonomous System Number) information. Useful for diagnosing network connectivity issues, measuring latency, and verifying host availability.
Input parameters
The domain name or IP address to ping (e.g., 'google.com' or '8.8.8.8').
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action

Agents can call 13 MXToolbox actions on Nagent, including "Lookup BIMI Record", "Lookup Blacklist" and "Lookup DKIM Record". Lookup BIMI Record: Retrieves BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) record and diagnostic information for a domain. Each action is listed on this page with its input parameters and its output.
MXToolbox connects with an API key, under your workspace's own connection. Nothing is enabled on connect: each action is allowed one at a time and can be scoped to the agents that need it.
Lookup BIMI Record takes 1 required input: domain. It returns data, error and successful.
