Google Search Console by Get MCP Ads

gsc get sitemap

gsc_get_sitemap
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a submitted sitemap by its full feed path to inspect its type, fetch state, warnings or errors, and submitted versus indexed content totals.

Instructions

Get one submitted sitemap by full feed path, including type, fetch state, warnings/errors, and submitted/indexed content totals.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
siteUrlNoSearch Console property URL, e.g. https://example.com/ or sc-domain:example.com. Uses GSC_SITE_URL when omitted.
feedpathYesFull sitemap URL exactly as submitted to Search Console.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultYesOriginal tool result: parsed JSON when the text is JSON, otherwise the text or multiple MCP content blocks. Provider fields depend on the selected query.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description's enumeration of returned fields (type, fetch state, warnings/errors, totals) adds a little context, but with an output schema present it is largely redundant and adds nothing about auth, rate limits, or error behavior.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the resource, the keying parameter, and the payload all in order, and no filler. Nothing in it could be cut without losing information.

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?

For a two-parameter read tool with full schema coverage, an output schema, and complete annotations, this covers the essentials. The remaining gap is failure/not-found behavior and how it relates to the sitemap-health sibling, which is minor for a simple lookup.

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 both parameters are already documented, including the GSC_SITE_URL fallback for siteUrl. The description's "by full feed path" reinforces that the required path must be the exact submitted URL, but adds no new semantics; baseline 3 applies.

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?

Specific verb plus resource ("Get one submitted sitemap") scoped by "full feed path", which implicitly separates it from the sibling gsc_list_sitemaps. It stops short of naming the alternative, but an agent can still tell the single-item fetch apart from the list operation.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: fetch details for a single sitemap once you know its feed path. There is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over gsc_list_sitemaps or gsc_get_sitemap_health, and no note about what happens if the sitemap was never submitted.

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