| threatLevel | stringnull | Threat level in words. | <threatLevel> |
| capability | stringnull | Capability as recorded for this row. | <capability> |
| hasMailServer | booleannull | Whether the domain publishes mail servers. | true |
| hasWebsite | booleannull | Whether a website was found. | true |
| technique | stringnull | Technique the source documents for this entry. | <technique> |
| registered | booleannull | Whether the entity is registered. | true |
| watchedDomain | stringnull | Domain this run was configured to watch. | <watchedDomain> |
| ipAddresses | stringnull | IP addresses the name resolves to. | <ipAddresses> |
| mailServers | stringnull | Mail servers the domain uses. | <mailServers> |

What you give it
| Input | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| domains | arrayrequired | The domains to protect. Lookalikes are generated from these. |
| techniques | arrayoptional | Leave empty to use all 11. Fewer techniques = faster, cheaper runs. |
| checkEmailCapability | booleanoptional | Strongly recommended. A lookalike with MX records can RECEIVE EMAIL — that is invoice-fraud and credential-phishing infrastructure, and it is the single most important finding this actor produces. |
| registeredOnly | booleanoptional | On by default. Turn off to also list unregistered variants you may want to defensively register. |
| minThreatScore | integeroptional | Filter out low-signal hits. 40+ = medium, 60+ = high, 80+ = critical. |
| maxVariantsPerDomain | integeroptional | Caps how wide the net goes. 800 is thorough; lower it for a fast scan. |
| tlds | arrayoptional | Leave empty for the commonly abused defaults (.com .co .cm .om .net .org .io .app …). |
| comboWords | arrayoptional | Leave empty for the defaults (login, secure, verify, billing, support …). |
| concurrency | integeroptional | 10 is a good balance. |
| maxItems | integeroptional | Hard limit, strictly enforced. |
