# `bird email tools validate-bimi`

## Usage

```bash
bird email tools validate-bimi [flags]
```

## Description

Validate a BIMI TXT record (the `v=BIMI1; l=...; a=...` string published at `default._bimi.<domain>`) and get back the parsed record plus errors and warnings. Pass the record text in the `record` parameter; the tool parses it offline (no DNS lookup) and reports whether it is valid, the logo (`l`) and Verified Mark Certificate (`a`) URIs, and any problems such as a non-HTTPS URI or a missing certificate. Use this to check a BIMI record before publishing it, or to explain an existing one. Public — no authentication required.

## Examples

```bash
bird email tools validate-bimi <record>
```
