Query tools service from within guest OS

Is the VIX API the right tool to use to query the tools service from within the guest OS? I've got a friend who wants to find out the host server of his VMs--from the VM. I told him to try and do it from the server side because that's my expertise, but that's a no-go for some reason.

If VIX isn't the answer, anyone know if this can be done otherwise?
