The RDAP server for .tools is looked up in IANA's bootstrap registry at check time, with the public rdap.org aggregator as a fallback, and checked together with DNS-over-HTTPS. Premium suspects (such as very short names) and brand-protected labels also get a third signal, Fastly Domain Research, before they are shown as available.
