What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• ipdetective_account_usage

  Read account request and lookup limits and current usage. Does not look up an IP address.

• ipdetective_lookup_ip

  Look up a public IPv4 or IPv6 address for IPDetective's bot signal and optional datacenter, VPN/proxy, ASN and country information. Uses your vendor allowance. This is a risk signal, not proof of abuse. No automatic retries.

• ipdetective_lookup_batch

  Look up 1–100 public IP addresses in one vendor request. Requires confirm:true because it consumes your IPDetective allowance. Duplicates are removed before submission. No automatic retries or background polling; check usage before resubmitting after an error.
