Get Top Referrers

get_referrers
Read-only

Retrieve referring domains ranked by visitors to see which external sites sent traffic in a date range, with revenue and percentage metrics.

Instructions

Get referring domains ranked by visitors, descending: which external sites sent traffic in the date range. Use get_channels when you want traffic grouped into GA4-style channels (Direct, Organic Search, Paid Social) instead of individual domains, and get_campaigns or get_breakdown with dimension utm_source for traffic identified by UTM tags rather than referrer. Rows carry value, visitors, revenue, and percentage with pagination.total; limit defaults to 100 (max 1000). Dates default to the last 30 days; all filter_* arguments apply. Requires websiteId or domain with a workspace token.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
endAtNoISO 8601 end of the reporting window (e.g. "2026-01-31"). Defaults to now.
limitNoMax rows to return (1-1000, default 100).
domainNoWebsite domain from list_websites (e.g. "example.com"). Alternative to websiteId with a workspace token.
offsetNoRows to skip for pagination (default 0). Compare offset + limit against pagination.total in the response.
startAtNoISO 8601 start of the reporting window, date or datetime (e.g. "2026-01-01" or "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"). Defaults to 30 days ago.
timezoneNoIANA timezone used to bound and bucket the window (e.g. "America/New_York"). Defaults to the website timezone from get_metadata.
filter_osNoFilter by operating system name as returned by get_operating_systems (e.g. "iOS")
websiteIdNoWebsite ID from list_websites. Required with a workspace token unless domain is given; ignored with a website key.
filter_refNoFilter by ref URL parameter
filter_viaNoFilter by via URL parameter
filter_cityNoFilter by city name as returned by get_cities
filter_goalNoFilter to visitors who completed this goal name (as returned by get_goals)
filter_pageNoFilter by page path as returned by get_pages (e.g. "/pricing")
filter_deviceNoFilter by device type: desktop, mobile, tablet
filter_regionNoFilter by region code as returned by get_regions (e.g. US-CA)

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds meaningful behavior beyond that: row contents ('value, visitors, revenue, and percentage'), pagination via 'pagination.total', default limit (100) and max (1000), default date window (last 30 days), and that all filter_* arguments apply. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Description is concise (4 sentences), front-loaded with the main purpose, then alternatives, then behavior details. Each sentence serves a distinct function with no redundancy or filler. It fits within the typical length for a tool with this many parameters.

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 complex tool with 27 parameters and an output schema, the description covers all essential operational details: auth requirement, defaults (limit, date window), row content, pagination mechanism, and filter applicability. Since an output schema exists, return-value details are already structured, so the description fills the remaining gaps (auth, defaults, pagination) completely.

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 description coverage is 100%, so every parameter is already documented in the input schema. The description only notes that 'all filter_* arguments apply,' which is implied by the schema's filter_* parameters. It adds no extra parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description states a specific verb and resource: 'Get referring domains ranked by visitors, descending' and clarifies scope ('which external sites sent traffic in the date range'). It explicitly names sibling alternatives (get_channels, get_campaigns, get_breakdown) and the conditions that distinguish them, so an agent can select it correctly without inspecting schemas.

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 explicit when-to-use vs when-not guidance: 'Use get_channels when you want traffic grouped into GA4-style channels... and get_campaigns or get_breakdown with dimension utm_source for traffic identified by UTM tags rather than referrer.' Also states the auth prerequisite ('Requires websiteId or domain with a workspace token').

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