# run_audit

Audit AND FIX a site for AI citation + SEO. Crawls the domain, scores AI-readability 0-10, checks for a v=AEO1 record, and returns the material needed to FIX it: seoReport.headSnippet is ready-to-paste <head> markup (title, meta description, Organization JSON-LD) and setup_prompt is a step-by-step plan covering llms.txt, structured data, and AI-crawler access, plus a ranked list of gaps. Use it to build the fixes, apply them to the site, then CALL THIS AGAIN to verify the score improved and the gaps cleared. WRITE action (queues extracted facts, unverified until a human approves). Free, no account, rate-limited to 5/hour per caller.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run_audit",

## Why run_audit is rated High

Tool crawls external sites and queues data changes, triggering external operations with side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Crawls the domain, scores AI-readability, queues extracted facts"

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_audit to trigger actions in Grounded Aeo. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
