# ai_visibility_check

Probe one or more LLMs for what they know about a business / brand / product / topic and score visibility (0-100) per model. Default model is Workers AI Llama-3.3-70b (free); pass _apiKey to also probe Anthropic (BYO key — you pay Anthropic directly for those calls). Returns per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response} + a combined view. Useful for AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `entity` | string | yes | The thing to ask about. Brand/business name, product name, person, or topic. E.g. "Pipeworx", "OpenInvoice", "Acme Corp pricing". |
| `models` | array | no | Which models to probe. Supported: "workers-ai" (free default), "anthropic" (requires _apiKey). Omit for just workers-ai. |
| `_apiKey` | string | no | Optional Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...) — only needed if "anthropic" is in models. Passed straight through to api.anthropic.com. |
| `context` | string | no | Optional: a phrase locating the entity (e.g. "Boston restaurant", "B2B SaaS"). Helps disambiguate common names. |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ai_visibility_check",
    "arguments": {
      "entity": "<entity>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why ai_visibility_check is rated Low

This tool performs read-only queries against external LLMs to gather information about brand/product visibility. It retrieves and scores data without side effects—no resources are created, modified, deleted, or executed. While it optionally consumes Anthropic API credits (user-provided keys), the tool itself does not initiate financial transactions; the user explicitly opts in and controls payment.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Probe[s] one or more LLMs for what they know' and 'Returns per-model {score, confidence, signals, raw_response}'. Core function is querying/retrieving information about LLM training data visibility."

## Use case

AI agents call ai_visibility_check to retrieve information from Linear without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Linear:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ai_visibility_check": {}
  }
}
```
