Submit a sitemap

console_submit_sitemap
Idempotent

Submits or resubmits a sitemap for one of the user's properties, asking Google or Bing to read it again. A write to the user's own account.

Use when: "get my new pages indexed", "I just published", "tell Google about the sitemap", after a site change or migration. Resubmitting the same sitemap is how to say it changed. Not for: specific URLs on Bing now, use console_submit_urls. Whether a page is indexed, use console_inspect_url. Google has no API to request indexing of one URL; the sitemap is the way. Returns: Record. engine, property, sitemap_url, submitted_at (when Manifold sent it). The engine reads it later, usually within hours; console_get_sitemaps shows when. Cost: 0 credits. Never cached. A connection made with read access only answers NotConnected; the user reconnects to grant submit access. Example: {"property": "sc-domain:example.com", "sitemap_url": "https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml"}

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare the safety profile (write, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world), and the description adds context those annotations cannot: resubmitting the same sitemap is the signal that the sitemap changed (explaining the idempotentHint), cost is 0 credits, the result is never cached, and a read-only connection returns NotConnected so the user must reconnect to grant submit access. That last point is a concrete auth failure mode an agent needs.

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?

Front-loads the action in the first sentence, then uses labeled sections (Use when / Not for / Returns / Cost / Example) so an agent can scan to the relevant part. Every line carries information; nothing is padded or repeated 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?

Covers the full decision surface for a write tool: timing expectations ('the engine reads it later, usually within hours'), where to verify the result (console_get_sitemaps), cost, caching, and the auth failure mode. The output schema exists, yet the description still names the returned fields briefly without duplicating schema detail.

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 100%, so the structured fields already document engine, property, and sitemap_url, making 3 the baseline. The description lifts it by binding the parameters into a concrete call example and by clarifying the sitemap/sitemap-index distinction and that the URL must sit under the property. Useful but adjacent to what the schema says.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Submits or resubmits a sitemap for one of the user's properties') and immediately scopes it to asking Google or Bing to re-read it. Sibling disambiguation is explicit later (console_submit_urls, console_inspect_url), so an agent can separate this from the other console write tools without opening a schema.

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?

Provides an explicit 'Use when' list with quoted user utterances ('get my new pages indexed', 'I just published') and an explicit 'Not for' clause routing URL-level submission to console_submit_urls and index-status checks to console_inspect_url. It even explains the workaround rationale: Google has no one-URL indexing API, so the sitemap is the way.

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