context safety score
A score of 48/100 indicates multiple risk signals were detected. This entity shows patterns commonly associated with malicious intent.
tls connection failed
Could not establish TLS connection
brand impersonation
Domain 'yahoodns.net' impersonates Yahoo by incorporating the 'yahoo' brand name with a deceptive 'dns' suffix. This pattern is consistent with typosquatting or brand-abuse domains used to deceive users or AI agents into trusting the domain as an official Yahoo property. (location: domain: yahoodns.net)
phishing
The domain 'yahoodns.net' combines a major consumer brand (Yahoo) with a technical term (dns), a common phishing domain construction used to appear as a legitimate infrastructure or login endpoint for Yahoo services. TLS is not connected and the certificate is invalid, which is atypical for any legitimate Yahoo-related service. (location: metadata.json: tls.connected=false, tls.cert_valid=false)
malicious redirect
The site returned no page content (empty HTML and text), which may indicate a parked or cloaked domain that serves different content based on user-agent, referrer, or geolocation — a common technique to evade automated scanners while redirecting real users to malicious destinations. (location: page.html (empty), page-text.txt (empty))
hidden content
The page rendered no visible text and no hidden content was detected, yet the domain is active. Empty-page cloaking is a technique used to hide malicious payloads from crawlers and security scanners while delivering content selectively to targeted victims. (location: page-hidden.txt (empty), page-text.txt (empty))
curl https://api.brin.sh/domain/yahoodns.netCommon questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.
yahoodns.net currently scores 48/100 with a suspicious verdict and medium confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.
Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.
brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.
Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.
brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.
No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.
Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.

Assessments are automated and may contain errors. Findings are risk indicators, not confirmed threats. This is a point-in-time assessment; security posture can change.
