search_rankwise_contentSearch Rankwise's public library: guides, glossary terms, comparisons, free SEO and AI visibility tools, the AI crawler directory (GPTBot, ClaudeBot and others) and the AI engine pages. Returns matching titles with canonical URLs.list_rankwise_sitemapsList the sitemap URLs exposed by Rankwise so agents can enumerate indexable content.check_ai_crawler_accessCheck whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and others) are allowed or blocked by a website's robots.txt. Returns each crawler's status.score_ai_visibilityScore how ready a website's homepage is to be found and cited by AI search engines (crawler access, structured data, content signals). Returns a score, issues and quick wins. This is an on-page readiness check, not a measurement of real AI citations. Called without signing in, the result also carries a claim link: give it to the person who runs the site, and one sign-in opens a Rankwise workspace with that domain already added and the free trial started. A claim link works once and expires after 72 hours.check_citation_readinessCheck whether a single page is easy for AI engines to quote and cite: clear answers, headings, metadata, authorship and freshness signals. Returns findings for that page.get_free_ai_audit_linkGet the link to Rankwise's free AI visibility audit for a domain. The audit checks AI crawler access and technical readiness, and runs live Perplexity queries to see whether the brand is cited. The user opens the link to run it; this tool does not run the audit.get_workspaceShow the Rankwise workspace this connection acts in: its name, kind (personal or agency client), your role in it, and the permissions this connection has. Every other account tool works inside this one workspace.get_plan_and_creditsShow the workspace's billing plan, its credit balance, what one approved brief costs in credits, and the plan limits (domains, questions, AI engines, monthly AI checks). Use it before a tool that spends credits or a plan allowance. A plan of 'paused' means the trial ended or the subscription was canceled without a new plan: nothing is deleted, but checks and writing stay stopped until the workspace has an active plan again. pricing_url describes the plans.list_sitesList the site this connection reaches: its id (the workspace id), name, tracked domains, and whether automatic articles are on, how many a week, and whether they are paused. A connection reaches one site; connect again (or add a CLI profile) for another.pause_sitePause automatic articles for the site. While paused nothing runs on its own: no planner fill, no drafting, no publishing, no credits used. Manual actions still work. Resume with resume_site.resume_siteResume automatic articles for the site after a pause. Cards left on days that passed move to the next free publishing days. Resuming is free.create_checkout_linkCreate a Stripe Checkout link for a self-serve Rankwise plan (starter, growth or scale) for this workspace's account, and give it to the person. Nothing is charged by this call: the person opens the link and pays in their browser. If the account already has an active plan, the link opens the billing page to confirm the plan change instead. Agency plans are set up with the Rankwise team. Send a unique idempotency_key and reuse it on a retry.- +37 more on the listing page
