Server tool list (21)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

scrapeFetch a single URL and return clean markdown by default. Set generateJson=true to also extract structured data with AI. Set useBrowser=true for SPAs and JS-heavy sites (slower and more expensive — only when needed). Returns markdown unless generateJson is true, in which case it returns the structured JSON.
searchRun an AI web search and return result URLs, titles, and snippets. Synchronous — returns immediately, no polling. Use this when the agent needs to discover pages relevant to a query before scraping. Returns a results array with url/title/snippet/date for each hit.
mapDiscover all reachable URLs under a given site. Useful for understanding a domain's structure before crawling, or finding the sub-pages an agent should scrape. Returns lists of internal links, external links, and counts. Honors depth and limit parameters.
crawlBulk-fetch markdown across a site. Use this when an agent needs the contents of many pages at once (catalog ingestion, site-wide RAG corpus). Pair with includePatterns / excludePatterns to scope which URLs are fetched. Returns an array of pages each with markdown and per-page status.
agentic_searchRun multi-source deep research. The pipeline searches the web, scrapes the most relevant citations, and uses an LLM to structure the combined data into a unified answer. Async — typically 1–5 minutes. Use this when one URL or a flat search result will not answer the question (comparative analysis, multi-jurisdictional research, market intelligence). Returns a summary plus structured_data conforming to the inferred or supplied schema.
wire_discoverFind Wire actions for a task from a natural-language intent. Wire is a catalog of pre-built automation actions across hundreds of websites (Amazon, Walmart, LinkedIn, Airbnb, Zillow, and others). Actions are of two kinds: READ actions that extract data (search listings, fetch a category's products, get a product's price/specs/reviews, read a profile, pull dashboard metrics) and WRITE actions that perform interactions (log in, submit a form). Many read actions need no authentication. Applicable when a task may be achievable on a specific known site, for data extraction as well as interactions. Returns ranked candidate actions, each with its action_id, type ("read" or "write"), required/optional params, credit cost, and whether auth is needed. Run a returned action with wire_read_action (when its type is "read") or wire_write_action (when its type is "write").
wire_catalogBrowse the Wire catalog. With no arguments, lists every supported website and its action count. Pass a catalog `slug` (e.g. "walmart", "amazon", "linkedin") to get that site's full action list with exact parameter schemas, each action's type (read/write), auth mode (none/optional/required), and credit cost — plus the login fields for credentials-mode sites. Use this to see everything a specific site can do (e.g. which read actions exist for fetching category products) before running one with wire_read_action or wire_write_action.
wire_read_actionRun a Wire READ action — one whose type is "read" (it EXTRACTS data and does not change state on the target site): search listings, fetch a category's products, get a product's price/specs/reviews, read a profile, pull dashboard metrics. Discover action_ids first with wire_discover or wire_catalog and confirm the action's type is "read"; `params` must match that action's parameter schema. This tool transparently polls the async job to completion and returns the extracted data. Most read actions need no auth; if the action's auth_mode is "required" (e.g. reading data behind a login), pass a `credential_id` from wire_identities or wire_login. For state-changing actions (type "write") use wire_write_action instead.
wire_write_actionRun a Wire WRITE action — one whose type is "write" (it performs a state-changing interaction on the target site): submit a form, add an item to a cart, post or send content, update account settings. Discover action_ids first with wire_discover or wire_catalog and confirm the action's type is "write"; `params` must match that action's parameter schema. Most write actions need auth — pass a `credential_id` from wire_identities or wire_login. This tool transparently polls the async job to completion and returns its result. It does not execute payments or transfer funds; such actions are refused. For data extraction that does not change state (type "read") use wire_read_action instead.
wire_identitiesList your saved Wire identities and their credentials. An identity is a named account on a site; each credential's `id` is the `credential_id` you pass to wire_read_action / wire_write_action to run actions whose auth_mode is "required". Optionally filter by catalog_id. Use this to find an existing credential before running an auth-required action (and check its status is "active", not "expired").
wire_loginSign in to a credentials-mode site and get a credential_id usable immediately with wire_read_action / wire_write_action. Provide the catalog `slug` and login `params` (the fields that catalog's login schema defines, e.g. email/password — see wire_catalog's login_input_schema). The password is never stored, only the encrypted session. Only needed for actions whose auth_mode is "required", and only for catalogs that support password sign-in; cookie-based sites use the dashboard connect flow instead.
wire_buildRequest a brand-new Wire action for a website that isn't in the catalog yet. Describe the site (`website_url`) and what the action should do or extract (`goal`); Wire generates and auto-tests a scraper, then publishes it. Asynchronous (returns status "pending") and charges credits, refunded automatically if the build fails. Only use this after wire_discover / wire_catalog confirm no existing action covers the site.
monitor_createCreate a scheduled website monitor that checks a URL every intervalMinutes (min 15) and records a change when the content differs — optionally alerting a webhook or email. scope "page" (default) watches one URL; "site" crawls the site each run and tracks pages added/removed/changed; "wire" runs a Wire action each check and diffs its JSON. watchMode "full_page" (2 credits/check) compares the whole page; "specific_data" (3 credits/check) extracts only the fields in outputSchema with AI — ideal for price/stock/status tracking. aiMode (+1 credit/check) filters out trivial noise and summarizes real changes. Active-monitor caps per plan: Free 5, Pro 20, Scale 100.
monitor_listList your website monitors, or pass `id` to fetch one monitor's full configuration and status (next/last check time, active state, per-check credit cost, alert settings). Use this to find a monitor's id before monitor_changes or monitor_control.
monitor_changesGet the detected changes for a monitor — each entry records when the watched content differed from the previous check, with a diff/summary (and the AI change summary when aiMode is on). Use monitor_list first to find the monitor id.
monitor_controlControl an existing website monitor: "pause" stops scheduled checks, "resume" restarts them (may hit the plan's active-monitor cap), "run_now" triggers an immediate out-of-schedule check (billed like a normal check), and "delete" permanently removes the monitor and its history. Use monitor_list to find the id.
ai_visibility_searchAsk multiple AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overview) the same question and compare their answers. Returns one result per engine — status, an answer summary, latency, credits used, and a consensus/outlier verdict — plus an AI-generated synthesis of where the engines agree and diverge. Async; typically completes within 1–2 minutes and this tool polls to completion. Use for brand/AI-SEO visibility checks ("what do AI engines say about X"), answer comparison, and geo-specific AI answers (set country). Billed per source at that Wire action's rate; failed sources are free. Set include_full_content=true only when you need each engine's raw full answer — it is large.
ai_visibility_sourcesList the AI answer engines available to ai_visibility_search — each with its slug (what you pass as `sources`) and display label. Call this when you need to query a subset of engines or check what is currently enabled.
session_listList your saved browser sessions — encrypted login states captured via the Anakin dashboard or Browser API. Each session's id is what you pass as sessionId to scrape/crawl, monitor_create, or browser_task to work with login-protected pages. Optionally filter by the website domain the session belongs to. If no session exists for a site, the user must create one interactively in the dashboard (log in once; 2FA/captchas included) — that flow cannot run from here.
session_deletePermanently delete a saved browser session and its encrypted login data. Irreversible — the user must log in again through the dashboard to recreate it, and any monitors or requests referencing this sessionId will lose authenticated access. Find ids with session_list.
browser_taskRun a natural-language task in a real cloud browser driven by an AI agent: it navigates, clicks, types, scrolls, and extracts on your behalf ("find the cheapest 65-inch TV on this site and list its specs", "fill the contact form with …"). Use when scrape cannot do the job (multi-step flows, interactions, complex navigation) and no Wire action covers the site (check wire_discover first — Wire actions are faster and cheaper). Async; runs up to ~5 minutes and this tool polls to completion. For login-protected tasks pass session_id from session_list — never put passwords in the prompt. Supply output_schema to get structured JSON back. It does not execute payments or transfer funds; such tasks are refused. Returns the task result plus run metadata (steps taken, duration, run_id).
