## Tools (8)

- `diagnose_hostname`: Why a hostname is or is not working: what the nameservers answer, what public resolvers see, and whether a certificate has been issued. Use this before assuming
- `get_hostname`: One hostname's status and certificate mode. Does not say where it points: DNS is the authoritative answer for that, so use diagnose_hostname or resolve the name
- `get_plan`: What this account's plan allows and how much of it is used: hostnames, dedicated domains, and whether a plan is active at all. Also says whether a checkout is o
- `list_hostnames`: Every hostname this credential can see, with how many are active and the plan's cap. Check the cap before minting: a hostname is the unit the plan counts.
- `mint_hostname`: Register an address and get back a stable hostname that survives the address changing. This is the tool to use when a machine or agent needs a name. The address
- `release_hostname`: PERMANENTLY give up a hostname. Read this before calling it. A released hostname is tombstoned and is never issued again, to anyone, including this account. The
- `repoint_hostname`: Point an existing hostname at a new address. This is what makes the name worth having: the machine moves, the name does not, and everything holding the URL keep
- `start_checkout`: Get a payment link the account owner opens to raise this account's limits. Call this when minting fails because the account is at its hostname cap or has no pla
