| Best for | - Site owners who want a clear audit and a ranked fix list without learning a heavy dashboard
- AI agents that need real crawl, Search Console, analytics, keyword, and competitor evidence through MCP
- Developers who want to embed the same report engine in a script, CI job, or TypeScript app
| - Engineering teams scaling AI coding agents while controlling spend
- Platform teams that need auditable, rollback-aware agent execution records
- Organizations using multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) under one governed flow
|
|---|
| Not for | - Users expecting a hosted dashboard or cloud data storage — data stays on the local machine
- Users needing official endorsement from Google or an SEO vendor — the project is third-party maintained
- Users without a Node 22+ runtime
| - Developers who just want a simple code-completion helper without run governance
- Teams unwilling to accept local JSONL run records with HMAC signing
- Environments without a supported adapter (Claude/Codex/Gemini CLIs, direct provider, or verifier-only)
|
|---|
| Required permissions | - Read the local config directory to store project profiles, crawl reports, and provider caches
- Access the system keychain for Google OAuth tokens, Bing API key, IndexNow key, and similar credentials, falling back to a private 0600 file
- Network requests to audited sites, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Bing Webmaster, Clicky, and selected research providers when enabled
- Optional access to Chrome UX Report, IndexNow, and the npm registry
- Optional CI use of a Google service account JSON key and environment variables such as SEO_GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON, SEO_BING_API_KEY, SEO_CLICKY_SITEKEY, and SEO_INDEXNOW_KEY
| - Read/write access to the configured repo root (writable scope restrictable via --allow-path/--deny-path)
- Ability to invoke the chosen agent CLI (Claude/Codex/Gemini, etc.) and its underlying model account
- Local disk writes for run records, receipts, and share outputs (share/run-receipt., etc.)
- Execution of user-configured verifier commands (e.g. npm test)
|
|---|
| Risks and side effects | - Optional external enrichment can send selected Search Console query or derived seed text to the chosen research provider only when explicitly enabled; it does not send Google credentials, property IDs, Search Console metrics, or Google Analytics rows
- When the system keychain is used, processes that cannot access it may read credentials readable by the same process user; without a keychain the CLI falls back to a private local file
- Research providers can charge for API requests; reports show estimated and actual cost, but spend limits are your responsibility
- Crawling issues many requests to the target site and may trigger access blocks; the report retains HTTP status, provider indicators, and access guidance
- User-agent names can be spoofed, so the server-log report describes request strings found in the log rather than verified crawler identity
- An accepted IndexNow request confirms receipt only and does not prove a URL was crawled, indexed, ranked, or shown
- Provider traffic, volume, difficulty, and visibility values are estimates and are not search-engine measured data
| - Verifier commands are executed; poorly chosen verifier commands carry security risk despite preflight policy checks
- Cost and token figures may be estimates (labeled with provenance) and should not be treated as settled accounting
- Receipt integrity must be verified before use as trustworthy evidence; missing rollback evidence is flagged as EVIDENCE_BOUNDARY
- Policy defaults come from martin.config.yaml and can be overridden by CLI flags; misconfiguration can loosen safety boundaries
