The DNS skill helps agents manage DNS zones and record sets in Datum Cloud — creating, inspecting, updating, and deleting DNSZone and DNSRecordSet resources within a project. It covers all supported record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, ALIAS, CAA, SRV, and more) and teaches agents to validate propagation after changes.
