What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• list_brands

  List the brands (websites) tracked in this Howseen account, with their id, name and domain. Call this first when the account may have several brands.

• get_visibility

  Headline AI visibility of a brand: % of AI answers that name it, share of voice vs competitors, average position, sentiment, per engine, plus the trend over the period (one point per scan).

• list_prompts

  The buyer questions (prompts) tracked for a brand, with per-prompt visibility, share of voice, position, which engines name the brand, and which brands and domains are cited.

• get_competitors

  Compare the brand with its competitors in AI answers: visibility %, share of voice, average position and sentiment, overall and per engine.

• get_top_sources

  The domains and URLs AI engines cite most when answering the brand's buyer questions, overall and per engine. Use it to find where the brand should get listed or mentioned.

• search_responses

  Read real AI answers collected for the brand: excerpts around the brand mention, whether the brand and which competitors were named, and the cited URLs. Filter by a word in the question or answer (query), by prompt text, and by engine.

• get_action_plan

  Prioritized actions to raise the brand's AI visibility (off-page: get listed on the pages AI cites; content: answer uncovered buyer questions; technical: site fixes, incl. links: = link a new article from 3 related pages, with copy-ready sentences in links.pages; setup: connectio

• list_articles

  Articles Howseen wrote for the brand (drafts, scheduled and published), with status, target question, GEO score and published URL.

• get_prompt_gaps

  Tracked prompts where AI names at least one competitor but not the brand, per engine, with the competitors named and the domains cited. Sorted by search volume (when a cached figure exists) then by number of competitors named. Start here to see what to win back.

• get_easiest_wins

  Third-party sites and pages cited in the answers the brand loses (competitor named, brand not), ranked by how many lost answers cite them, with the matching action-plan item. Getting listed there is the shortest path back into those answers.

• get_changes

  What changed between the last two completed scans (or since a date): prompts gained and lost, visibility delta per engine, tracked competitors newly named, and the likely causes (sources that started or stopped citing the brand).

• suggest_prompts

  Buyer questions worth tracking that the brand does not track yet: real questions from Hacker News discussions (ranked by engagement) plus AI suggestions for the category. Returns suggestions only; use add_prompts to track some. Limited to 20 calls per day.

• get_article_performance

  Articles written for the brand with status, GEO score, published URL and search-engine indexing status (Google URL Inspection, Bing), plus impressions and clicks when Search Console or Bing is connected.

• get_usage

  Plan, quotas used and left (prompts, competitors, articles, manual scans), next automatic scan estimate, what this API key may do, and the API rate limits. Call it before planning changes.

• get_next_action

  THE single most valuable next step for the brand, the same one the dashboard Overview shows (action engine, 20/80 ranking with the technical audit, Search Console and demand), with its steps, the questions it wins back and how to close it (which tool to call). Use it when the use

• get_site_audit

  Technical GEO/SEO audit of the brand's website, as the dashboard Technical audit shows it: every check (indexable, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt, server rendering, Bing, structured data, canonical, trust signals), every issue with its severity and score gain, the steps for th

• get_content_plan

  The brand's content calendar with the real publication state of every article (planned, draft, scheduled, to publish by hand, failed, live on the brand's site), the Autopilot state, and the two answers to "what next?": next_to_write (a planned topic: write it with draft_article a

• get_connections

  The TRUE state of every connection of the brand, like Settings > Integrations: each publishing destination (CMS, own Next.js / API feed, hosted blog, webhook, copy-paste editor) with connected / needs_reconnect / copy_paste_only / waiting_for_site, whether articles can be publish

• get_search_console

  Google Search Console of the brand's own site: clicks, impressions, CTR, position, daily trend, top queries and pages, plus the opportunities Howseen derives (queries on page 2, low-CTR pages, queries Google shows an off-topic page for). Only the property covering this brand's si

• get_analytics

  GA4 traffic of the account's connected property: sessions, users, page views, daily trend, top sources and pages, plus the sessions and revenue AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot...) send. For the AI part only, prefer get_ai_referrals. Not available with

• get_ai_referrals

  Real visits AI assistants send to the brand: GA4 sessions and revenue per assistant (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot...) and the pages they land on, an estimate of hidden AI visits (shown apart, never added), and the AI assistants that read the brand's Howseen-hosted

• get_sentiment

  How AI answers speak about the brand: % of the answers naming it that are positive (null under 3 answers), the positive / neutral / negative split with a real negative excerpt, per engine, compared with competitors, and the questions where the tone is negative.

• get_fanout_queries

  The web searches the AI engines ran behind each tracked question (latest scan): the queries to rank for so the AI finds the brand, overall and per question.

• get_brand_settings

  The brand profile (offer, category, language, markets, about, positioning, products), its competitors and its writing rules (the client's instructions, binding on every article), plus Autopilot. Read it before drafting or changing instructions.

• list_site_pages

  The brand's own website pages Howseen read when it joined (URL, title, summary): the inventory used for internal links, llms.txt and content refresh.

• get_pruning_review

  The quarterly content pruning review of the brand's website (the Action plan card "Quarterly pruning"): pages nobody finds in 90 days, pages that compete for the same Google queries (cannibalisation) and thin pages, each with ONE recommendation (improve with Content Refresh, merg

• add_competitor

• draft_article

  Write a DRAFT article answering one buyer question, with the same quality pipeline as the app (brand context, the client's writing rules, sources AI cites, GEO checks). Never publishes. Give question (e.g. a prompt from get_prompt_gaps), or article_id of a planned topic of the co

• refresh_article

  Rewrite a WRITTEN article with the brand's current profile (offer, category, offerings, competitors) after it changed: same article id, slug, question and date, previous version kept (restorable in the app). A published article is never overwritten: the update lands in a refreshe

• create_share_report

• update_brand_instructions

  Change the brand's writing instructions (Settings > Writing rules): the client's own rules every article must follow (tone, words to avoid, competitors never to name, facts to state...). Binding on every writing path from now on; an article breaking one is held, never published.

• set_autopilot

  Turn Autopilot on (articles of the content plan go live on the connected site on their date, once they meet the quality bar and the brand's rules) or off (nothing publishes automatically). Same switch as Howseen > Content. Preview first (says where it would publish); confirm: tru

• request_indexing

• apply_inbound_link

  Add the ready sentence that links one existing page of the brand's site to a newly published article (the links of a get_action_plan item whose id starts with links:), on the connected WordPress only. links.pages[].link_on says how: « existing_words » = the link is put on words a

• delete_article

  Move an article (planned, draft or published) to the Trash, like the dashboard delete button: restorable with restore_article or in Howseen > Content > Trash, and its topic is not planned again. A post already live on the client's own CMS (WordPress, Shopify...) is NOT removed fr
