Read-only. Only domains whose owner has claimed them are exposed; anything else returns found:false. Counts are ranking FOOTPRINT, never traffic, and every volume is a modelled estimate. A null means no estimate has been collected, never zero. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Grounded Aeo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
