## About MXToolbox with LuumenAI

Ask why mail is bouncing and get the answer in the same session. Luumen reads MxToolbox for you: MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DNS for a domain's name server health, MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_SPF, MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DKIM, and MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DMARC for authentication records, MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_BLACKLIST for reputation, and MX_TOOLBOX_MONITOR_STATUS for your configured monitors. Connect with an API key. Every tool here is read-only, so nothing in MxToolbox changes.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to MXToolbox?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in MXToolbox on its own?

No. Every one of the 13 tools is read-only, so LuumenAI can answer questions from MXToolbox but cannot change anything in it.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to MXToolbox is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
