google-search-console.list_sitemaps

List sitemaps submitted for a Search Console property.

Call google-search-console.list_sites to discover sites. Omit site_url to use the default property, or pass an exact site_url from that response. Returns sitemap paths plus submission, download, warning, and error details. Use an exact path from this response with get_sitemap, submit_sitemap, or delete_sitemap.

Cost = 5 tokens.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description itself must communicate behavior. It does so by using the read-oriented verb 'List,' stating what is returned ('sitemap paths plus submission, download, warning, and error details'), and adding the explicit 'Cost = 5 tokens.' It stops short of discussing auth or rate limits, but the read-only nature is clear.

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?

Several compact sentences front-load the core purpose, then pack prerequisites, parameter behavior, return content, and downstream usage with no filler. The cost line is useful and concise.

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?

Given the output schema exists, the description does not need to detail return values. It covers how to discover the property, what site_url to pass, what the response contains, and how to use the result with sibling tools, so nothing essential 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 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description adds workflow meaning for site_url by tying it to list_sites output and explaining default-property behavior, which is a meaningful addition beyond the schema.

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?

The first sentence names a specific verb and resource: 'List sitemaps submitted for a Search Console property.' It clearly distinguishes this from the sibling get_sitemap, submit_sitemap, and delete_sitemap by naming them as downstream actions.

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?

The description explicitly instructs to call google-search-console.list_sites first, explains when to omit site_url versus pass an exact value, and states that returns should be reused with get_sitemap, submit_sitemap, or delete_sitemap. This gives concrete selection and sequencing guidance.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct purpose, further clarified by group prefixes and clear descriptions. Within each group, tools perform different operations (e.g., domains.lookup vs. domains.whois vs. domains.rdap) with no ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent group.tool_name pattern using snake_case. The naming is predictable and uniformly applied across all groups.

Tool Count4/5

78 tools is high, but the server aggregates multiple distinct API domains (11 groups). Each group has a reasonable number of tools, typically under 10, with TikTok having 17. The count reflects breadth, not bloat.

Completeness5/5

Each domain's tool set covers the primary expected operations (e.g., search, details, reviews, metrics, user info). There are no obvious gaps for read-only analytical use; features like posting are likely out of scope.
