Deletes or cancels 1Claude Code: deny
mapsdata_cancel_scrapeCancel a queued or running scrape.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_cancel_scrape" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it Cancel a queued or running scrape. A queued scrape costs nothing. CANCELLING A RUNNING SCRAPE STILL BILLS the leads already delivered, so confirm with the user before calling this.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: true
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
- title: Cancel a scrape
Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
mapsdata_start_scrapeStart scraping Google Maps businesses and their emails.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_start_scrape" says "start": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Start scraping Google Maps businesses and their emails. Returns IMMEDIATELY with a job id; the scrape itself takes 5 minutes to several hours. Before calling this, confirm the category with mapsdata_search_categories and the region with mapsdata_list_regions. Those two mistakes are the overwhelming majority of rejections. This consumes the user's monthly lead allowance. Set dry_run to check a request against every rule without spending anything.

Only reads 6Claude Code: allow
mapsdata_get_download_linkGet a link to a finished scrape's results.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_get_download_link" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Get a link to a finished scrape's results. The link expires in 15 minutes, so hand it to the user promptly rather than storing it.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: false
- openWorldHint: true
- title: Get a download link
mapsdata_get_scrapeGet the current state of one scrape.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_get_scrape" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Get the current state of one scrape. This is an INSTANT SNAPSHOT of a job that runs for minutes to hours. Do NOT call it repeatedly in a loop. The response includes next_action, the suggested next step for the job's current status. MapsData also emails the user when a scrape finishes.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
- title: Check a scrape
mapsdata_get_usageHow much of this month's lead allowance is left, and the largest single scrape this plan allows.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_get_usage" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it How much of this month's lead allowance is left, and the largest single scrape this plan allows. Read max_rows_this_scrape before choosing a total_limit.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
- title: Check plan usage
mapsdata_list_regionsList the exact region names a scrape accepts for a country.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_list_regions" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List the exact region names a scrape accepts for a country. Submit them verbatim. Abbreviations like 'TX' are rejected, because the postal tables key on the full name.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
- title: List valid regions
mapsdata_list_scrapesList this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_list_scrapes" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
- title: List recent scrapes
mapsdata_search_categoriesSearch the Google Maps business categories MapsData can scrape.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "mapsdata_search_categories" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Search the Google Maps business categories MapsData can scrape. CALL THIS FIRST, before mapsdata_start_scrape: a scrape's query must be one of these exact categories, and a free-text guess like 'plumbing companies' is rejected.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
- title: Search Google Maps categories
This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
