Inspect several URLs

inspect_urls
Read-onlyIdempotent

Check up to 20 URLs in one call, getting a verdict for each. Handles partial failures and reduces round trips for Google Search Console URL inspection.

Instructions

Inspects up to 20 URLs of one property in a single call, reporting a per-URL verdict. The API has no batch method — this makes the calls one after another — but it saves a round trip per URL. One failure does not stop the rest.

The result is condensed to the verdict fields; use inspect_url for the full report on a single URL. The URL Inspection API allows 2 000 calls per property per day and 600 per minute. That is a daily budget, not a rate limit — spending it blocks inspection for the rest of the day.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description goes beyond this by disclosing that one failing URL does not stop the rest, that results are condensed, and that exceeding the daily budget blocks further inspection for the day. These are meaningful behavioral details not present in the 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?

The description is tight and information-dense, with no redundant filler. It front-loads the core purpose and then adds the most relevant usage and operational caveats in a compact second paragraph. Every sentence contributes useful information.

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 that an output schema is provided and the key behavioral caveats are covered, the description is complete for practical use. It tells the agent what the tool does, how it differs from inspect_url, what to expect in terms of failure behavior, and the relevant quota/rate constraints, so no critical context is missing.

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?

The input schema already describes all three parameters in detail, including site_url format, language_code BCP-47, and inspection_urls constraints. The description adds little to parameter semantics beyond reinforcing the 'up to 20' and 'same property' ideas already present in the schema. With full schema coverage, a 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?

The description clearly states that the tool inspects up to 20 URLs in a single logical call and reports a per-URL verdict. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling inspect_url tool by noting it is the batch/condensed variant, so the purpose is unambiguous.

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 advises using inspect_url when a full report is needed, notes that the API has no native batch method, and explains the round-trip savings. It also gives concrete operational guidance about the 2,000-call daily budget and 600-per-minute rate limit, making when and how to use the tool clear.

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