Get one property

get_site
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieves a Search Console property and its permission level for the authenticated account.

Instructions

Returns one property and the permission level this credential has on it. Useful for settling which of the two spellings exists — "sc-domain:example.com" and "https://example.com/" are separate properties holding separate data.

Input Schema

TDQS

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description aligns with the readOnly, idempotent annotations and adds the behavior of returning the credential's permission level, which is not stated in annotations but is consistent and useful.

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?

The description is exceptionally concise—two sentences—yet conveys the purpose, use case, and key distinction without fluff.

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 presence of an output schema and a single parameter, the description fully covers what the tool does and why it exists; no additional context is needed.

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

Parameters5/5

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

The only parameter site_url is fully described with examples and a note about required trailing slash, matching the schema description exactly and leaving no ambiguity.

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 description clearly states the tool returns one property and its permission level, and distinguishes between domain and URL-prefix properties, which is precise and sets it apart from list_sites and get_verified_site.

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?

It explicitly mentions a practical use case—settling which spelling of a property exists—and implies when to use this tool over listing or verification-specific tools, providing clear guidance.

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