  version: 1.8.0
  description: 'TLS/SSL certificate diagnostics with a verdict: status OK | WARN | CRITICAL | UNKNOWN, judged from the certificate chain the server actually serves — measured from Korean point A (full chain, CRL revocation) plus point B and an overseas point on the Globalping public measurement network — verification, expiry, renewal point, revocation (CRL), chain, plus security grade, TLS error explanations and free expiry monitoring by email (double opt-in). If the server cannot be measured the status is UNKNOWN; CT logs are then shown only as an estimate and days left is null. No API key. Limit: 30 requests per minute per IP; results cached per domain for 10 minutes (security: 30 minutes). Free and best-effort. Docs: https://certdesk.dev/en/api/ · MCP server: https://certdesk.dev/mcp'

      summary: Request free daily expiry monitoring by email
      description: 'Double opt-in: sends a confirmation email; monitoring starts only after the recipient clicks the link. Up to 5 domains per address. Use only an address the user owns. One confirmation email per address per 24 hours (429 MAIL_COOLDOWN) and a global daily cap (429 DAILY_MAIL_CAP). Alerts: verdict changes and recoveries, a weekly summary on Mondays, and new certificates recorded in Certificate Transparency logs — immediately when the issuing CA has not been seen for that domain before (possible unauthorized issuance), otherwise listed in the weekly summary.'
