Tools

When you connect an assistant (Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client) to Asky, it gains access to a set of read-only tools. Each tool answers one kind of question about your brand’s AI-search visibility, drawn straight from the same data you see in the Asky app.

You do not call these tools directly. You ask a question in plain language, and the assistant picks the right tools for you, often chaining several together. This page is a reference so you know what is available and can phrase questions that map cleanly to your data.

Every tool is read-only and scoped to your brand. Tools can read your Asky data but can never create, change, or delete anything. They only return data for brands your signed-in account can access. To learn how access works, see read-only access.

The engines Asky tracks you across are ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Most tools accept a date range and optional filters (by topic, tag, or engine), which the assistant fills in based on your question. Almost everything starts from your brand, so the assistant will usually call asky_brands_list first to find it.
