Get one sitemap

get_sitemap

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve the submission status and details of a single sitemap, including last submitted and downloaded dates, warnings, errors, and URL counts per content type.

Instructions

Returns the full record for a single submitted sitemap: last submitted, last downloaded, warnings, errors, and the URL counts per content type. This is how to check whether a submission actually worked — errors appear here, never in the response to submit_sitemap.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`feedpath`	Yes	The full URL of the sitemap, e.g. https://example.com/sitemap.xml
`site_url`	Yes	The Search Console property: "sc-domain:example.com" for a domain property, or "https://example.com/" for a URL-prefix property (the trailing slash is required)

Output Schema

A4.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

The description is read-only and idempotent-consistent with the annotations, and it adds useful detail about the returned error information. It does not mention rate limits or authorization, but the annotations already cover the main safety aspects.

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?

Two concise sentences with no redundant wording. The key information is front-loaded and the added contrast with submit_sitemap is valuable.

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?

The description is complete for a simple read operation: it names the parameters, the returned record contents, and the primary use case. No additional context is needed to invoke it correctly.

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?

The schema provides strong descriptions for both parameters, including examples and required trailing-slash behavior for site_url. The description itself adds little beyond the schema, but the schema coverage is complete.

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?

Clearly states it returns the full record for a single submitted sitemap, and distinguishes this from submit_sitemap by noting that errors appear here rather than in the submit response. This makes the tool's purpose unmistakable.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use this tool: to check whether a sitemap submission actually worked. It also contrasts with submit_sitemap, helping an agent choose between related sibling tools.

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