### `sonar_keyword_metrics` (~247 tokens)

Keyword Metrics

Difficulty + popularity for a specific keyword (or up to 25 in bulk). Use this when you already know which keywords you care about — costs 1 credit per keyword. Works without an API key for up to 5 keywords/day (free tier, per IP); an API key removes that cap. Use sonar_keyword_search instead when you want related keyword ideas alongside metrics. A keyword the API cannot compute right away comes back as `pending` (queued on the scrape fleet, not charged) — this tool already waits and re-checks briefly; if it is still pending, call again after `retry_after_seconds`.

Input parameters:

### `sonar_keyword_suggestions` (~152 tokens)

Keyword Suggestions

Get autocomplete suggestions for a seed keyword from the App Store or Google Play. Returns terms with a priority score (higher = more searched). Lighter and faster than sonar_keyword_search — use when you only need term ideas without difficulty/popularity scoring. Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. "us", "gb", "de"). Default "us".
- `seed` (string, required): Seed keyword. The store will return autocomplete suggestions starting from this term.
- `store` (string, required): App store. "ios" for Apple App Store, "android" for Google Play.

### `sonar_top_charts` (~278 tokens)

Top Charts

Get a store top chart (free / paid / grossing, overall or by category) with day-over-day movement: per-app rank delta, apps new to the chart, biggest movers and apps that dropped out. Use to see what's rising in a market or category. Note: summary, movers and droppedApps always describe the full top 200 — `limit` truncates the returned entries only. Movement is empty on the first day a chart is requested (no previous snapshot yet). Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Category key, e.g. "HEALTH_AND_FITNESS" (iOS) or "HEALTH_AND_FITNESS" / "GAME" (Android). Use "overall" (default) for the store-wide chart.

### `sonar_app_rankings` (~264 tokens)

App Rank History

Rank history for an app's tracked keywords — daily ranks over the requested window, one history array per keyword. Prefer observations for daily status: ranked has a numeric rank; not_found means a completed search did not return the app (results_count is the returned search size); not_observed means no confirmed check, including legacy gaps. Never interpret an absent rank as a collection failure or assign a numeric rank to it. The legacy history array contains positive ranks only. Use this to check how rankings moved after a metadata change or to find keywords trending up or down. Cursor-paginated over keywords (default 50 per page). Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID — the `id` returned by sonar_list_apps or sonar_create_product. NOT a store id.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): History window in days (1-365). Default 30.
- `keyword_id` (string, required): Sonar keyword UUID — a `keyword_id` from sonar_app_keywords or sonar_competitor_keywords. NOT the keyword text.

### `sonar_competitor_keywords` (~207 tokens)

Competitor Keywords

Keywords a tracked competitor currently ranks for (last 7 days of SERP data), with difficulty and popularity per keyword. Pass own_app_id for gap analysis: keywords where the competitor ranks but your app doesn't are marked gap=missing. Cursor-paginated (default 50 per page). Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

Input parameters:

### `sonar_competitor_landscape` (~152 tokens)

Competitor Landscape

The full competitive keyword picture for one of your own apps vs every tracked competitor, in one call: live stats (keyword gaps where competitors rank and you don't, winnable gaps, competitors climbing on your tracked keywords, keywords you lead), the top gap/threat/lead rows with metrics, and the latest AI insight if one was generated (opportunity clusters, threat narratives, strengths, posture). Read this before deciding which keywords to target next. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of YOUR OWN tracked app (an `id` from sonar_list_apps where is_own is true). NOT a store id, NOT a competitor id.

### `sonar_list_products` (~38 tokens)

List Products

List your products with their linked store versions and competitor counts. Use it to discover product/app UUIDs. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

### `sonar_alert_events` (~226 tokens)

Alert Events Feed

The detected alert events for your workspace, newest first — the same feed as the in-app Recent Alerts panel and the email digest: rank drops/gains, top-10 entries/exits, new rankings, rating drops, review spikes, and competitor changes, each with a type-specific payload (app/keyword names, old vs new values). Events only exist for alert types you've enabled rules for (sonar_set_alert); detection runs once daily. Poll with `since` to react to changes programmatically. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

- `limit` (integer): Max events to return (1-200). Default 50.
- `since` (string): Only events created at/after this ISO 8601 timestamp (e.g. "2026-08-01T00:00:00Z"). Use your last poll time to fetch only new events.
- `type` (string): Filter to one alert type. Omit for all types.

### `sonar_app_overview` (~186 tokens)

App Overview (Dashboard Scoreboard)

The dashboard's computed scoreboard for one of your apps in a single call: visibility index and share of voice (with 7-day deltas and a daily spark), ranked / top-10 keyword counts with movement, best rank, the biggest 7-day improvements and drops, the rank-distribution trend, and the actionable opportunity list (near_page_one / top_three_push / easy_target). Read this FIRST when asked how an app is doing — it's the same numbers the dashboard renders, so you don't need to recompute anything from raw rank history. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of one of your own tracked apps — the `id` returned by sonar_list_apps or sonar_create_product. NOT a store id.
- `days` (integer): Rank-history window in days (7-90). Default 30.

### `sonar_discovered_keywords` (~337 tokens)

Discovered Keywords

Keywords Sonar's discovery engine surfaced for one of your tracked apps but that aren't tracked yet — ranked finds (the app already ranks, unnoticed), competitor gaps, and AI/autocomplete-sourced ideas — each with popularity, difficulty, AI relevance, and an opportunity score (0-100, best first). This is Sonar's "what should I track next" answer: read it, pick the winners, then track them with sonar_track_keywords. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of one of your tracked apps — the `id` returned by sonar_list_apps or sonar_create_product. NOT a store id.
- `bucket` (string): Filter by classification: "ranked" = the app already ranks for it, "gap" = a competitor ranks but the app does not, "idea" = verified research suggestion with no rank evidence yet. Omit for all.

- `min_relevance` (integer): Only rows with AI relevance at or above this value (0-100).
- `source` (string): Filter by how the keyword was discovered. Omit for all sources.
- `status` (string): Filter by row status. Default "new" — the still-actionable suggestions; "all" includes rows already tracked or hidden.

### `sonar_review_insights` (~160 tokens)

Review Insights (AI)

The latest AI review analysis for a tracked app (your own or a competitor): what users praise and complain about as named themes with frequency, verbatim quotes, and trend movement (new / persisting / growing / improving / resolved), plus overall sentiment, surfaced feature requests, and what changed vs the previous analysis. `insight` is null if none has been generated yet — use sonar_generate_review_insights. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of a tracked app — your own or a competitor (an `id` from sonar_list_apps). NOT a store id.

### `sonar_portfolio` (~111 tokens)

Portfolio Rollup (Agency)

The whole portfolio's health in one call — for orgs managing many apps: per-app KPIs (visibility + 7-day delta, ranked/top-10 counts, net rank movement, rating, review count), org-wide totals, the biggest keyword movers in both directions, a needs-attention triage list (visibility drops, rating drops, not-ranked apps), and the best discovered-keyword opportunities across all apps. Same numbers as the /portfolio page. Requires an Agency plan (403 on other plans).

### `sonar_create_product` (~147 tokens)

Create Product

WRITE tool — creates a product in the caller's Sonar workspace and starts tracking the given app(s). A product is the cross-store unit (one iOS + one Android app, or just one of either). Returns the product id and the Sonar app ids needed by sonar_track_keywords and sonar_track_competitor. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `apps` (array, required): 1-2 store versions: a single iOS or Android app, or one of each for a cross-store product.
- `name` (string): Product name. Optional — defaults to the first app's name.

### `sonar_track_app` (~203 tokens)

Track App

WRITE tool — links the second-store version of an existing Sonar product (e.g. the product already tracks the iOS app and you want to add the Android version, or vice versa). Each product holds at most one iOS + one Android app; to start tracking a brand-new app, use sonar_create_product instead. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. "us"). Optional — defaults server-side.
- `product_id` (string, required): Sonar product UUID (from sonar_create_product). NOT a store id.
- `store` (string, required): App store. "ios" for Apple App Store, "android" for Google Play.
- `store_id` (string, required): Store-specific app identifier of the version to link. iOS: numeric track ID. Android: package name.

### `sonar_track_competitor` (~185 tokens)

Track Competitor

WRITE tool — adds a competitor app under a Sonar product so its keywords and rankings get tracked alongside the product's own app. The product must already have its own app linked in the same store as the competitor. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. "us"). Optional — defaults server-side.
- `product_id` (string, required): Sonar product UUID (from sonar_create_product). NOT a store id.
- `store` (string, required): App store. "ios" for Apple App Store, "android" for Google Play.
- `store_id` (string, required): Store-specific app identifier of the COMPETITOR app to track. iOS: numeric track ID. Android: package name.

### `sonar_track_keywords` (~194 tokens)

Track Keywords

WRITE tool — starts daily rank tracking for one or more keywords on an app in the caller's Sonar workspace. Idempotent: re-posting the same terms reports them as already_tracked instead of creating duplicates. Returns per-keyword outcomes (created / already_tracked / failed). Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID — the `apps[].id` returned by sonar_create_product (or sonar_track_app). NOT a store id; the store is implied by the app.
- `country` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. "us"). Optional — defaults to the product's country.
- `keywords` (array, required): Keywords to start tracking (1-200). Duplicates and already-tracked terms are reported, not duplicated.

### `sonar_update_keyword_note` (~139 tokens)

Update Keyword Note

WRITE tool — sets or clears the note on a tracked keyword in the caller's Sonar workspace (e.g. why it's tracked, an optimization hypothesis, a reminder). Idempotent: re-sending the same note is a no-op. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `note` (required): Note text (max 1000 chars). Pass null or an empty string to clear the note.
- `tracked_keyword_id` (string, required): Tracked-keyword UUID — the `id` (not keyword_id) returned by sonar_app_keywords or sonar_track_keywords.

### `sonar_star_keyword` (~160 tokens)

Star Keyword

WRITE tool — stars or unstars a tracked keyword in the caller's Sonar workspace. A star marks the keyword as a favorite/target the user is actively pursuing; starred keywords carry a starred_at timestamp in sonar_app_keywords results. Idempotent: re-starring refreshes the timestamp, unstarring a non-starred keyword is a no-op. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `starred` (boolean, required): true to star the keyword (mark as a favorite/target), false to unstar.
- `tracked_keyword_id` (string, required): Tracked-keyword UUID — the `id` (not keyword_id) returned by sonar_app_keywords or sonar_track_keywords.

### `sonar_scan_competitor` (~198 tokens)

Scan Competitor Keywords

WRITE tool — runs an AI keyword discovery scan on a tracked competitor: generates the search terms the competitor's listing is optimized for (brand terms included), queues them for SERP verification, and verifies the first batch inline (~30s), recording both apps' ranks. Returns generated/queued/verified_now counts; the rest verify in the background over the following hours — read results with sonar_competitor_keywords. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `competitor_app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of the competitor to scan — the `competitor.id` from sonar_track_competitor, or an `id` from sonar_list_apps where is_own is false. NOT a store id.
- `own_app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of your own app the scan compares against. The competitor must be linked to this app.

### `sonar_analyze_competitors` (~157 tokens)

Analyze Competitors (AI)

WRITE tool — generates a fresh AI competitive insight for one of your own apps: clusters the keyword gaps vs your competitors into named opportunity themes (with a why-now narrative and per-keyword metrics), writes threat narratives for competitors climbing on your keywords, and diffs against the previous analysis. At most one analysis per app per 7 days (429 with the next available time while in cooldown — use sonar_competitor_landscape to read the current one). Requires a paid (non-trial) Indie plan and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of YOUR OWN tracked app to analyze. NOT a store id, NOT a competitor id.

### `sonar_generate_review_insights` (~173 tokens)

Generate Review Insights (AI)

WRITE tool — generates a fresh AI review analysis for a tracked app from its recent reviews (praise/complaint themes, sentiment, feature requests, trend vs the previous run). At most one analysis per app+country every 90 days (429 with the next available time while in cooldown — use sonar_review_insights to read the current one); needs at least 5 recent reviews. Requires a paid (non-trial) Indie plan and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Sonar app UUID of a tracked app — your own or a competitor (an `id` from sonar_list_apps). NOT a store id.

Input parameters:

- `tracked_keyword_id` (string, required): The tracked-keyword UUID — the `id` returned by sonar_app_keywords. NOT the keyword_id.

### `sonar_untrack_keywords` (~187 tokens)

Untrack Keywords

WRITE tool — bulk-untrack keywords for an app in the caller's Sonar workspace. Pass `all: true` to remove every tracked keyword, OR `ids: [...]` to remove specific ones (exactly one of the two). Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.

Input parameters:

- `all` (boolean): Set true to untrack ALL keywords for the app. Mutually exclusive with `ids` — pass exactly one of `all` or `ids`.

Input parameters:

- `include_image_data` (boolean): When false (default), inline base64 images are replaced with short placeholders to keep the response small. Set true only when you need the raw data URLs (a layout containing placeholders is rejected…
- `set_id` (string, required): Screenshot set id.

### `sonar_update_screenshot_set` (~129 tokens)

Update Screenshot Set

Rename a screenshot set, replace its extra-locale list, and/or reorder its screens. Returns the updated set (with image data stripped). Requires an authorized Sonar account or a write-scope API key.

Input parameters:

Input parameters:

- `layout` (object, required): The FULL replacement layout — this replaces the whole document, it does not merge. Never send a layout containing '[inline image omitted…]' placeholders; refetch with include_image_data first.
- `screenshot_id` (string, required): Screen id (from the set's screens array).

### `sonar_delete_screenshot` (~59 tokens)

Delete Screenshot

Delete one screen from a screenshot set. A set keeps at least one screen — deleting the last one is rejected. Requires an authorized Sonar account or a write-scope API key.

Input parameters:

- `screenshot_id` (string, required): Screen id to delete.

### `sonar_set_screenshot_translations` (~125 tokens)

Set Screenshot Translations

Write a locale's translation overrides for screens in a screenshot set (text copy, localized captures/images).
