When to use it

Use it when

  • Any 'how is organic doing' question.

Do not use it when

  • No specific contraindication beyond the preconditions below.

What it needs first

Preconditions

  • The account is ticked in the dashboard, confirmed via list_accounts.

Inputs

window
Analysis window.Default: last 30 days.

Procedure

In order. Every tool named is one the gateway ships, and links to its reference.

  1. Check data freshness first.

  2. Query search analytics for the window, split brand from non-brand.

Decision rules

The observable condition, what it lets you conclude, and what takes the conclusion back.

  • When

    The window's tail is fresher than Search Console's lag

    Conclude

    Trim the unfresh days: partial days read as decline.

Evidence every conclusion must carry

  • Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
  • Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.

Where the agent stops

  • The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.

How it goes wrong quietly

The cases where the analysis is wrong and still looks right. Read them before trusting a number.

  • Metrics are a top-N sample by design, not site totals: say so wherever totals are implied.
