WHAT IT DOES

What seoagent_rank_track_check does on Seoagent

AI agents invoke seoagent_rank_track_check to trigger actions in Seoagent. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why seoagent_rank_track_check needs a policy

This tool actively triggers an external operation — querying live SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) data for tracked keywords. While it retrieves data, it does so by executing a live external fetch/scrape operation rather than simply reading from a local store. This places it in the Execute category rather than Read.
