Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| backlinksA | Look up referring domains (backlinks) for a single target domain from the Common Crawl webgraph. Returns each linking domain with host count and CrawlGraph authority score, plus the target's own authority/rank. Costs one backlinks call against the monthly quota (1,000/mo on lifetime). |
| gap_analysisA | Run a competitor backlink gap analysis: find domains that link to one or more of your competitors but NOT to you. Submits an async job and polls until done (usually 5-30s). Returns every gap with |
| gap_outreach_targetsA | The warm-outreach play. Runs a gap analysis, then ranks results: PRIORITY = domains linking to ALL your competitors but not you (publishers who cover your whole space and have never heard of you), SECONDARY = domains linking to 2+ competitors. Platform/CDN noise is filtered, top N priority targets are scored by authority. Use 2-3 competitors. Costs one gap job + one backlinks call per enriched target. |
| releasesA | List the Common Crawl releases the API can query. Does not count against any quota. Use a release |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: backlinks for single domain lookup, gap_analysis for competitor gap detection, gap_outreach_targets for ranked outreach targets, and releases for listing data snapshots. No overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent pattern of lowercase with underscores, using descriptive noun phrases (e.g., gap_analysis, gap_outreach_targets). No mixing of conventions.
With 4 tools, the set is well-scoped for a specialized backlink analysis server. Each tool is necessary and the count is appropriate for the domain.
Covers essential workflows: single domain lookup, competitor gap analysis, and enriched outreach targeting. Missing bulk queries or historical comparisons, but the releases tool enables snapshot selection, mitigating gaps.
