• create_google_ads_conversion_action

  Hermoso

  Create a CONVERSION ACTION — the thing that tells Google what counts as a result on this account. This is a PREREQUISITE, not a nicety: MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS, MAXIMIZE_CONVERSION_VALUE, TARGET_CPA, TARGET_ROAS and every Performance Max campaign are undeliverable without one, because Google has nothing to optimise toward. type WEBPAGE (a purchase / lead / signup on the site — the normal choice), UPLOAD_CLICKS or UPLOAD_CALLS; every other Google conversion type (Firebase, Google Analytics 4, Floodlight, store visits) is READ-ONLY and is created in those products, not here. Set category to what actually happened (PURCHASE, SUBMIT_LEAD_FORM, SIGNUP, BOOK_APPOINTMENT…) and defaultValueUsd when a conversion has a known worth — TARGET_ROAS has nothing to maximise without a value. Created ENABLED and counted in "conversions" by default, because a conversion action that is neither records nothing. It CANNOT SERVE AN AD and cannot spend a cent, so it needs no confirmation. A WEBPAGE action records NOTHING until its Google tag is installed on the site — say that when you report it.

• checkOpenAccess

  Scholar Sidekick

  Check whether a single scholarly work is openly accessible and where to find the best legal version. Use when the user asks 'is this open access?', 'where can I read this for free?', or wants the OA license/version before reusing or redistributing. Sourced from Unpaywall. Resolves DOI/PMID/PMCID/arXiv/ISBN/ADS inputs to a DOI before lookup; inputs that don't map to a DOI return doi=null and reason='no_doi'. Single identifier per call — does NOT accept comma/newline batches; loop one call per identifier for multiple papers. Returns: { doi, resolvedFrom?, reason?, result } where result has isOa (boolean), oaStatus ('gold' | 'green' | 'hybrid' | 'bronze' | 'closed'), title, bestLocation ({url, hostType: 'publisher' | 'repository', license, version: 'submittedVersion' | 'acceptedVersion' | 'publishedVersion'} or null), and locations (array of the same shape); result is null when no DOI could be resolved and reason explains why ('no_doi'). No sibling tool overlaps this — resolveIdentifier returns metadata but not OA status. Read-only and idempotent — safe to retry. Works anonymously against the public Scholar Sidekick API (rate-limited free tier); set SCHOLAR_API_KEY (a free ssk_ key from https://scholar-sidekick.com/account) for higher limits, or RAPIDAPI_KEY for paid RapidAPI tiers. Rate limits follow your tier; Unpaywall is queried server-side with its own caching.

• list_business_locations

  Hermoso

  List the Google Business Profile listings SHARED WITH THIS BRAND — id, title, address, website and Maps link. These are the only listings anything here can post to or read: one Google login often manages several businesses (an agency manages its clients’), and the user ticks which of them belong to this brand. Call this before posting whenever more than one is shared and let the USER pick: a Post on the wrong storefront is a public mistake Hermoso will not make for them. If nothing is shared, ask the user to choose — list_connector_accounts("google_business") then set_connector_accounts — and never name or guess a listing. Read-only, 0 credits. Needs Google Business Profile connected (Settings ▸ Connectors ▸ Google Business Profile).

• resolveIdentifier

  Scholar Sidekick

  Resolve scholarly identifiers to structured CSL JSON metadata (title, authors, journal, year, identifiers). Use when the user wants raw bibliographic data to inspect, transform, or feed into another tool — not a formatted citation. Common single-shot conversions: PMID → PMCID, arXiv → DOI, ISBN → CSL JSON, WHO IRIS URL → structured metadata. Accepts DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv ID, ISSN, NASA ADS bibcode, or WHO IRIS URL, with or without prefixes (PMID:, arXiv:, ISBN hyphens, https://doi.org/...). Pass a single identifier or a comma/newline-separated batch — one round trip per call. Returns: a JSON array of CSL items, each with id, type, title, author[], issued.date-parts, container-title, DOI/PMID/PMCID/ISBN/ISSN/URL when available. Use formatCitation instead when the user wants a finished citation string in a specific style; use exportCitation when they want a downloadable bibliography file. Read-only and idempotent — safe to retry. Works anonymously against the public Scholar Sidekick API (rate-limited free tier); set SCHOLAR_API_KEY (a free ssk_ key from https://scholar-sidekick.com/account) for higher limits, or RAPIDAPI_KEY for paid RapidAPI tiers. Rate limits follow your tier; the underlying REST API caches repeated identical requests and surfaces cache state in the x-scholar-cache response header.

• save_to_drive

  Hermoso

  Save a Hermoso render — or ANY file — into the user’s connected Google Drive. Pass a Hermoso render URL as url (or urls[] for several); for a local/external file, call upload_file first and pass the url it returns. Optional folder (created if new) + name. Returns the Drive file(s) with a webViewLink. Needs Google Drive connected (Settings ▸ Connectors ▸ Google Drive — one connection covers Drive, Sheets and Docs). NOTE: Hermoso uses the drive.file scope, so it reaches ONLY the files it created plus any the user explicitly handed over with the Google file picker in the app — never their whole Drive.

• update_business_location

  Hermoso

  Change the brand’s Google Business Profile listing — hours, phone, website, description, categories, service area, labels, store code, address or the business name. THIS EDITS THE PANEL ON GOOGLE SEARCH AND MAPS, immediately and publicly: there is no draft, no preview and no undo. Pass ONLY what changes, in `fields`, keyed by Google’s own field names: websiteUri, phoneNumbers, regularHours, specialHours, moreHours, profile, categories, storefrontAddress, title, labels, storeCode, openInfo, serviceArea, serviceItems, latlng, adWordsLocationExtensions, relationshipData. CALL IT WITHOUT confirm FIRST — nothing is written, Google validates the payload for you, and you get back the CURRENT value of every field you are about to change, so you can show the user the exact before-and-after; then call again with confirm:true once they approve. Changing the business NAME (title) or ADDRESS (storefrontAddress) additionally needs confirmName set to the listing’s CURRENT name, because Google can suspend a listing over either. Output-only fields (metadata) and immutable ones (languageCode) are refused by name rather than dropped. Use dryRun:true to validate a payload with Google and write nothing. Needs Google Business Profile connected.

• google_business_account

  Hermoso

  Read the Google Business Profile ACCOUNT that owns one of the brand’s listings — the account name, its type (a personal Google account, a location group, a user group or an organization), the connected user’s role on it (primary owner / owner / manager / site manager), the account’s verification state and the permission level. Use it to answer “can we actually edit this listing?” and “whose account is it on?” before offering an edit that Google would refuse anyway. It reads exactly ONE account — the parent of a listing already shared with this brand — and never lists the other accounts the connected Google login can reach; that roster belongs to the account picker (list_connector_accounts). Read-only, 0 credits. Needs Google Business Profile connected.

• read_doc

  Hermoso

  Read the text of a Google Doc Hermoso can reach — one it created, or one the user handed over with the Google file picker in the app (that is how an EXISTING doc becomes readable; find its id with list_drive_files). Pass documentId (from create_doc) OR paste a Google Docs URL as docUrl. Under the drive.file scope it reaches nothing else in the user’s Drive; if Google answers that the file was not found, the user has not picked it yet — ask them to pick it in the app rather than retrying. Returns the plain text. Read-only, free.

• google-maps.place_photos

  Vee3

  Get photos for a Google Maps place. Provide place_id from search results. The identifier also accepts the business identifier form (0x...:0x...). Optional cursor, region, and language are supported. Pass cursor from a previous cursor_next to fetch the next page. Returns place metadata and a photos array. Each photo has photo_url and description when available. cursor_next appears only when a pagination cursor is available. Additional upstream fields may appear. Cost = 3 tokens.

  Connector

• google-maps.place_types

  Vee3

  List supported Google Maps place type values for search filters. Returns place_types as a string array. Use a value with place_type on google-maps.search or google-maps.nearby_search. Cost = 1 token.

  Connector

• google-trends.categories

  Vee3

  List all Google Trends category and subcategory labels you can pass to other Google Trends tools in the category field. Returns cat (array of category names, including All categories) and msg. Use this before interest-over-time or interest-by-region calls when filtering by category. Cost = 5 tokens.

  Connector

• google-trends.regions

  Vee3

  List all countries and subregions you can pass to other Google Trends tools in the country and region fields. Returns geo.countries: each country name maps to country (label) and regions (array of subregion names). Also returns msg. Use this before interest-over-time or interest-by-region calls when filtering by geography. Pair with google-trends.categories when filtering by category. Cost = 5 tokens.

• get_paper

  Semanticscholar

  Get full metadata for a single paper by ID. Accepts a Semantic Scholar paper ID, or a prefixed ID like "DOI:10.1145/3292500", "arXiv:2106.15928", or "CorpusId:215416146". Returns abstract, TLDR summary, authors, venue, citation/reference counts, fields of study, and open-access PDF. Keyless.

• check_citations

  pubscope

  Verify a pasted reference list (plain text, BibTeX or RIS) against Crossref, OpenAlex, DataCite, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed and DBLP, plus Retraction Watch. Flags references that cannot be found (possibly fabricated), retracted papers and DOI mismatches. One check per day without an account; sign in for more.

• get_business_location

  Hermoso

  Read everything Google holds on one of the brand’s Google Business Profile listings — business name, address, phone numbers, website, categories, description, regular and special hours, service area, labels, store code, open state, and whether the listing can carry a Post at all. This is the listing AS THE MERCHANT LAST SET IT, which is exactly what update_business_location edits; it can differ from what Google Maps shows today, because Google and the public can suggest changes on top. Call it before offering to change anything, and to answer “what does our Google listing actually say?”. Read-only, 0 credits. Needs Google Business Profile connected (Settings ▸ Connectors ▸ Google Business Profile).

• register_merchant_developer

  Hermoso

  ONE-TIME SETUP, and the FIRST thing to run when Merchant Center calls are being refused. Google blocks every Merchant API call until Hermoso's Google Cloud project is registered against the merchant's account, and says so verbatim ("GCP project ... is not registered with the merchant account"). This performs that link. It is NOT a broken connection and reconnecting cannot fix it. Google asks for up to 5 minutes afterwards before the API starts answering.

  Connector

• publish_reply

  ReputeMap

  PUBLISH a reply to this review's public Google profile. This is a public, customer-visible action - call it ONLY when the user has explicitly approved this exact text. If Google rejects the publish, the text is preserved in ReputeMap with a manual fallback (status 'manual_required') - words are never lost.

• list_google_ads_campaigns

  Hermoso

  Read the connected Google Ads account(s). Call with NO customerId to list the accessible accounts (customerId + name + currency) — do this first to pick a target. Call WITH customerId to list that account’s campaigns (id, name, status, daily budget, channel) plus performance metrics (impressions, clicks, CTR, avg CPC, cost, conversions). Date window: datePreset (LAST_7_DAYS | LAST_30_DAYS | TODAY | THIS_MONTH | LAST_90_DAYS …) or since+until (YYYY-MM-DD). Read-only, free. Needs Google Ads connected (Settings ▸ Connectors ▸ Google Ads).
