Works — verified, early-stage project
RDAP-backed whois tool plugin for DeepSeek Harness (dsh) — look up domain registration data as a model tool It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.
“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.
README
dsh-whois-plugin
A DeepSeek Harness plugin that adds a whois tool the model can call to look up domain registration data.
Despite the name, it's backed by RDAP (RFC 7484/9082/9083), the structured JSON successor to the legacy WHOIS protocol — no port-43 text parsing, no external binary. It resolves the authoritative RDAP server per TLD from IANA's bootstrap registry (https://data.iana.org/rdap/dns.json, cached for 24h) and queries it directly over HTTPS.
Install
Into a dsh profile:
dsh plugin --profile <name> add dsh-whois-plugin # from npm
dsh plugin --profile <name> add github:rjn32s/dsh-whois-plugin # straight from GitHub
Verify the layer, then boot:
dsh --profile <name> --dump-config # look for "# == dsh-whois-plugin"
dsh --profile <name>
Usage
Once installed, just ask the agent, e.g.:
Look up the WHOIS/RDAP info for example.com
The model calls whois({ domain: "example.com" }) and gets back the raw RDAP JSON (registrar, status, events like registration/expiration, nameservers, and registrant entities where the registry publishes them).
Notes / limitations
- A small number of ccTLDs have no RDAP entry yet in IANA's bootstrap file; the tool throws a clear error in that case rather than silently falling back to legacy WHOIS.
- No API key or network egress config required beyond outbound HTTPS.

Install
Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:
dsh plugin add dshbase-catalogThen say "install dsh-whois-plugin for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.
This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:
Web profile:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:rjn32s/dsh-whois-pluginHeadless (CLI) profile:
dsh plugin --profile headless add github:rjn32s/dsh-whois-pluginTest report
Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.
