Bing crawl stats

get_bing_crawl_stats
Read-only

Use this when the user asks how Bing crawls and indexes their site over time. Bing's daily crawl statistics for a property (roughly the last 6 months): pages crawled, pages in the index, inbound links, and a breakdown of response codes (2xx, 301, 302, 4xx, 5xx), robots.txt blocks, crawl errors and malware flags. Rows are sorted by date, oldest first; a day Bing did not report is missing, not zero. Not for the URLs behind the errors: use get_bing_crawl_issues. Returns notConfigured: true when no Bing Webmaster API key is set up for the property.

Input Schema

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Goes well past readOnlyHint/openWorldHint annotations by disclosing row ordering (date, oldest first), the missing-vs-zero semantics for unreported days, and the notConfigured:true failure mode when no Bing Webmaster API key exists for the property — none of which the annotations or schema convey.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four sentences, front-loaded with the trigger, then scope, then return shape, then the exclusion. Every sentence carries either routing or data-shape information; nothing is restated from the schema.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only, single-required-param reporting tool with an output schema, all gaps are covered: when to call, what is returned, ordering, sparse-day semantics, and the auth-missing configuration state. Nothing an agent needs to call or interpret it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 67% and the date parameters are already documented in-schema, so the description's main contribution is the ~6-month crawl-data retention window that frames what the date range can span. It does not clarify the siteUrl format (URL vs. property string), which the schema leaves undocumented, so it stops short of full compensation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Names a specific verb and resource — 'Bing's daily crawl statistics for a property' — and enumerates the metric families returned (crawled pages, index count, inbound links, response-code breakdown, robots.txt blocks, errors, malware). It also differentiates itself from the Bing sibling it is most likely confused with.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Opens with an explicit trigger ('Use this when the user asks how Bing crawls and indexes their site over time') and closes with an explicit exclusion plus the alternative ('Not for the URLs behind the errors: use get_bing_crawl_issues'). Both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are stated.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
