The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_credits Check credit balance ~37
Get the remaining gmapsscraper.io credit balance for the configured API key. Each scrape costs 2 credits. Free to call.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_scrape_results Get scrape job results ~57
Check the status of a scrape job and fetch the business records once it is complete. Does not spend credits — safe to call repeatedly.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | string | yes | Job id returned by start_scrape_job or scrape_google_maps. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
scrape_google_maps Scrape Google Maps businesses ~255
Search Google Maps and return business leads: name, address, phone, email, website, rating, reviews count, category, coordinates. Costs 2 credits per call — every call bills again (NOT idempotent, do not retry on your own). Always confirm with the user before spending credits. Multiple related keywords in one call cost the same 2 credits. Blocks until the scrape finishes (typically 30-120s). Be specific with keywords, e.g. "vegan restaurant in Brooklyn NY".
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | integer | – | 1-2, higher returns more results at the same credit cost. |
| boolean | – | Also crawl business websites to extract contact emails (recommended for lead generation / cold outreach). | |
| keywords | array | yes | Search queries including a location, e.g. ["dentist in Chicago IL"]. Multiple related keywords cost the same 2 credits. |
| lang | string | – | ISO 639-1 result language, e.g. "en", "es", "de". |
| max_wait_seconds | integer | – | How long to wait for the scrape to finish before handing back a job id to poll. |
| radius | integer | – | Search radius in meters (default 20000). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
start_scrape_job Start a scrape job (async) ~208
Submit a Google Maps scrape job without waiting for it to finish. Costs 2 credits per call — every call bills again (NOT idempotent, do not retry on your own). Always confirm with the user before spending credits. Returns a job id — poll it later with get_scrape_results. Use this instead of scrape_google_maps for large areas or when the user wants to continue working meanwhile.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | integer | – | 1-2, higher returns more results at the same credit cost. |
| boolean | – | Also crawl business websites to extract contact emails (recommended for lead generation / cold outreach). | |
| keywords | array | yes | Search queries including a location, e.g. ["plumber in Miami FL"]. Multiple related keywords cost the same 2 credits. |
| lang | string | – | ISO 639-1 result language, e.g. "en", "es", "de". |
| radius | integer | – | Search radius in meters (default 20000). |
