get_crawler_activity

Observed AI-crawler hits on an asset over the last 30 days (FI-262): which bots fetched which pages, aggregated per day. Real server-reported hits, never estimated; empty means no collector data, not zero traffic.

When to use it

  • Use it when: You need to know which AI crawlers actually fetched the site.
  • Not when: The site has no collector installed; the tool will say the activity is not measured.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
assetIdstringyesThe Visibility Asset UUID to query.
limitnumbernoMaximum items to return; default 100, at most 500.

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.

FieldMeaning
assetIdThe asset asked about, echoed back.
dataStatusOne 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.
hrefThe 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.
collectorReportingWhether the site's collector has ever reported. False means not measured, not zero traffic.
noteThe sentence to quote when nothing is reported.
hitsPer bot and path: hits, lastSeenAt, lastStatus. Real server-reported hits, never estimated.

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_crawler_activity for my site and list which AI bots fetched which paths.

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.
