### Tool changes

- 2026-10-16 `mapsdata_get_scrape` changed (description)
  - before: 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. Read next_action in the response and follow it; MapsData also emails the user when a scrape finishes.
  - after: 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.

## Tools (8)

- `mapsdata_cancel_scrape`: 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.
- `mapsdata_get_download_link`: 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.
- `mapsdata_get_scrape`: 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.
- `mapsdata_get_usage`: 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.
- `mapsdata_list_regions`: 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.
- `mapsdata_list_scrapes`: List this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.
- `mapsdata_search_categories`: 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.
- `mapsdata_start_scrape`: 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.
