whisper_verifyVerify whether an address or FQDN is a real Whisper agent and, if so, whose - running the full keyless trust chain (reverse-DNS + DANE-EE TLSA pin + DNSSEC + JWS identity doc). Returns the verdict as JSON. Use it to check any peer's claimed identity before trusting it. No API key needed.whisper_rdapFetch the RDAP record for a Whisper IPv6 /128 (the IP-anchored registration object: who operates the agent identity, since when, under which tenant). Returns RDAP JSON. Use it to look up ownership/registration facts about an address. No API key needed.whisper_identifyName the vendor and operator role behind a host or IP in one call. Resolves a host/IP to its canonical vendor, category and operator roles (DNS_OPERATOR / CDN / ORIGIN_AS / MAIL_RECEIVER) with a confidence band. No API key needed. Docs: https://www.whisper.security/docs/whisper-graph/procedures/identifywhisper_assessGet a labelled threat posture for a host or IP - malicious, benign, or unknown. Returns a posture label + severity band + sub-labels + coverage + evidence for an indicator; benign-allowlisted vs malicious-evidenced, never a bare score. No API key needed. Docs: https://www.whisper.security/docs/whisper-graph/procedureswhisper_explainScore an indicator against the threat feeds and explain exactly why. Threat-intel scorer: score + level + human explanation + the feeds it is listed in (feedId, weight, firstSeen/lastSeen). Two live forms: bare CALL explain($v) (full columns) and CALL whisper.explain($v) (restricted YIELD). No API key needed. Docs: https://www.whisper.security/docs/whisper-graph/procedures/explain
