Searcherries: AI Visibility & SEO

Get Competitors

get-competitors
Read-onlyIdempotent

Brands the AI platforms name for the tracked questions. dataset=ranking (default) returns one row per brand for the period, own brand included, ranked by visibility with mentions, citations, average position, per-platform numbers and a few deduplicated highlights of what platforms say about each brand. dataset=detail returns one brand (name fragment in "competitor") with all its highlights. dataset=history returns the stored month-by-month snapshots (own brand and top competitors per month).

Tool call template

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value by explaining what each dataset returns (ranked rows with mentions/citations/position, per-brand highlights, monthly snapshots), though it omits auth/rate-limit context.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

It is front-loaded with the core purpose, then breaks down the three datasets in an ordered, scannable way. Slightly dense but every clause carries information about output shape.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With no output schema, the description steps up by describing the return contents for each dataset, which an agent needs to call it correctly. Given annotations cover the safety profile, this is largely complete.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so all 9 parameters are already documented. The description adds the dataset-mode semantics and the 'name fragment in competitor' detail, but for a fully covered schema this is baseline added meaning.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a specific verb (list/brands the AI platforms name) and resource (competitors/brands for tracked questions) and details three dataset modes. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like get-project-summary or get-citations, but the scope is clear.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It explains which dataset to choose (ranking default, detail needs a competitor, history for monthly snapshots) and notes own brand is included in ranking. It gives clear context for mode selection without naming sibling alternatives for related queries.

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