    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Send a prompt to an AI answer engine (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot) and get its answer_text with citations; with brand it also reports whether and where that brand was cited. SPENDS quota at Zenserp's premium per-answer rate (see Zenserp pricing), is slow (seconds to a minute), and must not be repeated needlessly. Plan gate: Medium unlocks ChatGPT, Large adds Perplexity, Premium adds Gemini, Enterprise adds Copilot. GET /v1/answer-engine.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Google Flights options. Best: origin and destination as 3-letter airport codes plus departure_date (dates and curr are honoured only then). A free-text q or a tfs string from a Google Flights URL also works. SPENDS 1 request of the monthly quota per successful call (failed calls are not charged); do not repeat a call needlessly. GET /v1/flights.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Google Hotels offers for a hotel or place. Send check_in and check_out together, or Google falls back to today's rates. SPENDS 1 request of the monthly quota per successful call (failed calls are not charged); do not repeat a call needlessly. GET /v1/hotels.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Product page data from Google Shopping: description, merchant offers, variations. product_id comes from zenserp_shopping_search. With gpc_id (from the same result) it returns the whole product cluster across merchants. SPENDS 1 request of the monthly quota per successful call (failed calls are not charged); do not repeat a call needlessly. GET /v1/shopping.
