Tools 6

get_domain_readiness

Look up one domain on b/cited's public AEO readiness leaderboard: its rank, grade, overall and AEO scores in every category it appears in, the AEO-category checks from its most recent weekly scan, and its score history (newest first). Covers only the 180 curated leaderboard domains.

Discovered
get_leaderboard

Return one category of b/cited's public AEO readiness leaderboard: every curated domain ranked by overall readiness score (0–100) with its letter grade and AEO score, as scanned weekly by the same rule-based scanner as the site scan. Unscanned domains sort last with null scores.

Discovered
get_prompt_citations

For one leaderboard category, which sites ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity cited when asked b/cited's fixed set of buyer prompts, for one ISO week (default: the latest recorded). Per prompt and engine: the ordered cited hosts and whether each is on the board; per board domain: cited on N of M prompt-and-engine pairs and best rank; plus hosts cited that are not on the board. This is engine output at run time, not a scanner score; the prompts are a sample, not a census; no endorsement is implied.

Discovered
list_leaderboard_categories

List the 12 industry categories of b/cited's public AEO readiness leaderboard (slug, name, description).

Discovered
lookup_glossary

Define a term the way b/cited's glossary defines it — AEO, citation, brand rank, visibility score, authority score, topical cluster, coverage diff, llms.txt, ai.txt, and 30 more. Matches on term, alias, or slug, and returns the best match plus close alternatives. With no term, returns every entry.

Discovered
scan_site

Run b/cited's Site Readiness scan on one public URL: a rule-based audit (not model-judged) of 30+ observable signals across nine categories — indexing, metadata, social cards, structured data, AEO (llms.txt, ai.txt, AI-crawler stance in robots.txt, FAQPage/HowTo/Author schema), international, mobile, security headers, and performance. Returns an A–F grade, a 0–100 score per category, and every check with pass/warn/fail and a detail line. Performance (Core Web Vitals via PageSpeed Insights) is off by default because it adds up to 45 seconds; set include_performance to true to include it. Results are cached for an hour and shared across callers (source: "cache"). Private, loopback and .local hosts are rejected.
