get_citation_metrics
Read only
This page as markdown, for an agentCitation headline metrics for an asset over a trailing window: total citations, cited-run counts and owned-citation counts from real engine answers. Raw measured aggregates; absent inputs mean not measured.
When to use it
- Use it when: You need raw citation counts over a trailing window.
- Not when: You need a share with an interval; counts here are aggregates, not proportions.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| assetId | string | yes | The Visibility Asset UUID to query. |
| windowDays | number | no | Trailing window in days; default 28, at most 365. |
What comes back
Every field this tool can return. Checked against the handler on a real database in the test suite, not typed from memory.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| assetId | The asset asked about, echoed back. |
| dataStatus | One of ok, not_measured or empty_filter. not_measured means no measurement of this kind exists yet, which is not zero; empty_filter means data exists and your filter matched none of it. |
| href | The dashboard page that holds the evidence behind this result, for the right site. A signed-in person can open it; quote it beside the numbers. |
| windowDays | The trailing window the counts cover. |
| totalCitations | Citations of any source in sampled answers inside the window. |
| ownedCitations | Citations of the brand's own pages. |
| avgPosition | Mean position of owned citations, or null when there were none. |
| positionSamples | How many owned citations the mean position is over. |
| totalRuns | Answers sampled inside the window. |
| citedRuns | Answers that cited an owned page. |
What comes back with the number
Shares arrive with the sample size behind them and a 95% Wilson interval. Values carry a provenance of measured, estimated or derived. A pillar that was not measured reports as not measured rather than as zero, and the composite Visibility Score is held until at least 5 of its 7 pillars are measured.

}What dataStatus means
ok: There is at least one result, or a measured zero.not_measured: No measurement of this kind exists yet for the asset. Not zero, and not a broken connection.empty_filter: Data exists, and the filter you passed matched none of it. Retry without the filter.
Example prompt
Call get_citation_metrics for my site over 28 days and tell me how many sampled answers cited us, out of how many.
Calling it
Connect the MCP server at https://app.seoaio.ai/api/mcp over the Streamable HTTP transport. Per-customer authentication is required, so nothing is exposed without it. Call list_assets first: every other tool needs an assetId from it.

For an agent
Read the skill at /SKILL.md before calling anything. It carries the tool order and the rules for quoting a number, including the one that matters most: quoting a share without its interval overstates what we measured.
