List all my DNS zones in NS1.

I've retrieved your zones. You currently manage 3 zones: 'production.com', 'staging.net', and 'api-gateway.io'. Which one would you like to manage?

Create an A record for 'www.production.com' pointing to '1.2.3.4' with a TTL of 3600.

I've successfully created the A record for 'www.production.com' in the 'production.com' zone. It is now pointing to 1.2.3.4 with a TTL of 3600 seconds.

Show me all active monitoring jobs and their regions.

Fetching monitoring data... I found 2 active jobs: 'Global-Web-Check' (monitoring from US-East, EU-West, and Asia-Pacific) and 'API-Health' (monitoring from US-West).

Yes! Use the `create_zone` tool with the zone name (e.g., 'example.com'). You can also optionally set TTL, refresh, and expiry values during creation.
