 With the default `auto`, the server asks Outrank at startup which toolsets the organization can use (`entitlements` in `auth whoami`) and lists only those, so a marketplace buyer without an Articles subscription does not see dozens of tools that would only return errors. A toolset the organization can only read (for example after a subscription ended) lists its read tools only. A toolset Outrank could not verify (`unverified_toolsets`) stays listed. The tools that start a new area (marketplace seller and buyer setup, backlink subscription quotes, the billing portal link and the product-slot quote) are always listed. Typical sizes: 32 tools for a new organization, 154 with everything enabled.
 
-`auto` is a noise filter, not a permission system: Outrank checks access on every request whatever the tool list says. If the lookup fails or takes longer than three seconds, the server starts with `core` plus the setup tools, says so in its instructions, and refreshes the list as soon as a lookup succeeds. After buying a new service, call `auth_whoami` (or restart the server) to refresh the list.

If the lookup fails or takes longer than three seconds, the server starts with `core` plus the setup tools, says so in its instructions, and refreshes the list as soon as a lookup succeeds. After a tool that changes what the organization can use succeeds (`products_create`, `products_pause`, `products_resume`, `billing_purchase_products_buy`, `marketplace_buyer_checkout`, `marketplace_buyer_change_plan` and the seller onboarding tools), the server re-reads the organization in the background and tells the client when the tool list changed; `auth_whoami` refreshes it on demand. A service the human buys in the dashboard shows up on the next `auth_whoami` or restart.
 
 When a tool you need is missing, either the organization does not have that service yet, or the list was narrowed by configuration. `--toolsets all` lists everything; `--toolsets core,keywords,articles` lists exactly those toolsets and nothing else, so include `core` unless you already know your product ids. `--read-only` and an explicit `--toolsets` list are enforced when a tool is called, not only when tools are listed.

 An API key belongs to one organization, and one server instance works on one organization. Every tool result repeats it under `organization` (`id`, `user_email`, `profile`, `base_url`), so the assistant cannot mix organizations up silently.
 
+Besides tools, the server offers four prompts for clients that support them — `onboard_product`, `plan_keywords` (`product_id`, optional `days`), `improve_declining_articles` (`product_id`) and `setup_publishing_integration` (`product_id`, optional `provider`) — each a step-by-step brief naming the tools to call, listed only while its toolset is on and never in read-only mode; and one resource, `outrank://whoami`, a JSON document with the organization, the known entitlements and the toolsets in use, which a client can read without spending a request.
+
+Outrank writes its `agent_guidance` for the HTTP API, naming endpoints such as `GET /api/agent/v1/products/<id>`. The server rewrites those references into tool references the assistant can call — `products_get {"product_id":"<id>"}` — using the registry that maps every tool to its endpoint. Query values become typed arguments (`?limit=5` → `{"limit":5}`). An endpoint it cannot map is passed through unchanged, and so is one whose values the tool would refuse (an unknown filter, a provider that tool does not take) or whose query or path continues with text the rewrite cannot read (`?email=a@b.com`, `?q=%ZZ`). The purchase endpoint is named as its two steps in order: `billing_purchase_products_quote, then billing_purchase_products_buy`. A rewritten reference can name a tool the server configuration leaves out; calling it returns an error saying which toolset to add. The guidance written by the CLI itself already names tools on this surface.

 For several organizations, store one profile per organization with the CLI and register one server per profile:
 
 ```bash
 outrank-cli auth login outr_live_xxx --profile acme
 outrank-cli auth login outr_live_yyy --profile globex
-claude mcp add outrank-acme -- npx -y outrank-cli@0.6.1 mcp --profile acme

 - **The key never passes through the assistant.** No tool takes a key, a base URL or a profile as an argument, `auth login` is not a tool, and `auth_status` shows neither the key nor the config path. Set the key in the client configuration, in the environment or with `outrank-cli auth login` in a terminal; do not paste it into a chat and do not put it in a file that is committed.
 - **The key is only sent to Outrank.** The server accepts `www.outrank.so` and `outrank.so`. Any other base URL is accepted only when the key and the URL come from the same stored profile, which you create yourself in a terminal (`outrank-cli auth login <key> --profile staging --base-url <url> --allow-custom-base-url`, then `mcp --profile staging`). Environment variables cannot unlock another host, so a `.mcp.json` from a repository you do not control cannot redirect your key by setting `OUTRANK_BASE_URL`. Redirects are never followed.
 - **Tools that cost money or cannot be undone are flagged** (`destructiveHint`), so the client asks before running them. A client set to approve tools automatically removes that safeguard.
-- **Purchases take two deliberate steps.** `billing_purchase_products_buy` charges the stored card: it requires the amount from a preceding `billing_purchase_products_quote` and an `idempotency_key`. If that call times out, it must be retried with the same key; a new key can charge twice. `marketplace_buyer_change_plan` cancels immediately for `cancel_subscription` and `cancel_scheduled`, and is refused without a `confirm_subscription_id`, which the assistant is told to read from `marketplace_buyer_subscription`. These fields stop a single careless call; they are values the assistant can obtain itself, so they do not replace the approval prompt of your client.
+- **Purchases take two deliberate steps.** `billing_purchase_products_buy` charges the stored card: it requires the amount from a preceding `billing_purchase_products_quote` and an `idempotency_key`. If that call times out, it must be retried with the same key and arguments: Outrank records the outcome per key and returns it again (`data.replayed` is `true`), while a new key can charge twice. `marketplace_buyer_change_plan` cancels immediately for `cancel_subscription` and `cancel_scheduled`, and is refused without a `confirm_subscription_id`, which the assistant is told to read from `marketplace_buyer_subscription`. These fields stop a single careless call; they are values the assistant can obtain itself, so they do not replace the approval prompt of your client.
 - **Uploads are restricted.** An image must be inside the upload directory (symlinks are resolved first), at most 5 MB, and its bytes must match its `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.webp` or `.gif` extension. A path outside the directory is refused before the file system is touched, so nothing else on disk can be sent or probed. Point `--upload-dir` at a folder that holds only the images you want to publish.
 - **A write that did not get an answer is never reported as safe to repeat.** When a timeout or a dropped connection hits a tool that changes something, the result says the outcome is unknown and to check first; for publishing and generation tools it names the tool to poll.
 - **Only register this server from a configuration you trust.** Whoever controls the server's command line and environment controls the process: the checks above protect your key against a redirected base URL, not against a configuration that replaces the program or its runtime options.
 - **Third-party tokens are visible in the conversation.** Connecting Webflow, Framer, Ghost, Shopify, Wix or a webhook means passing that platform's token as a tool argument. Use a scoped token you can rotate.

+- **Marketplace text is untrusted.** Notifications, placement briefs and placement articles are written by other organizations. The MCP server returns each such field as `{ "untrusted_counterparty_text": "…" }` instead of a plain string (notification titles and bodies; the keyword, anchor text, target URL, article title and publish error of a hosted placement; the title, keyword, meta description, slug, instructions, publish error and summary of the articles in `marketplace_seller_content_history`; the article title, URL, image URL and seller site of a bought placement; the seller site and article title in the credit history; and the placement article itself: title, content, image URL, meta description, slug, keyword, section heading and seller site), so an assistant can tell it apart from Outrank's own fields, and tells the assistant to treat it as data, not instructions. The CLI returns the plain strings. The `articles_*` tools return a hosted marketplace article next to the organization's own articles: each article carries `is_marketplace_placement`, and when it is not `false` its title, keyword, meta description, slug, instructions, publish error, image URL, summary, body and replace excerpts are wrapped the same way, while the organization's own articles stay plain. This covers every `articles_*` tool that returns article text, `articles_delete` included. For `articles_retry_publish`, `articles_generate`, `articles_precreate`, `articles_upload_image` and `articles_upload_featured_image` the flag sits at the top of the result and also decides the fields beside the article: the publish error of a failed retry, the keyword, and the alt text, file name and address of an uploaded image. A result without the flag is wrapped. When a tool takes such text back (`articles_update`, `articles_update_content`), pass the plain string, not the wrapped object; the tool names the field if it gets the object.
+- **Rate limits are shared.** The server uses the same per-minute and per-day budget as every other client of that key. It paces its own requests to Outrank's limit of 120 per minute, lowers that budget when a response reports fewer remaining requests, and waits out a `Retry-After`, so a client that fans out many tool calls at once gets them queued instead of rejected; a queued call still counts against the client's own tool timeout.
 
 ### Troubleshooting
 
-- **The server does not start.** Run the same command in a terminal: `npx -y outrank-cli@0.6.1 mcp --help` must print usage. Check that Node.js 18 or newer is installed (`node --version`). On native Windows, if the client cannot start `npx` directly, use the `cmd /c npx …` form.
+- **The server does not start.** Run the same command in a terminal: `npx -y outrank-cli@latest mcp --help` must print usage. Check that Node.js 18 or newer is installed (`node --version`). On native Windows, if the client cannot start `npx` directly, use the `cmd /c npx …` form.
 - **The command works in a terminal, but the client cannot find `npx` or `node` (macOS, Linux).** A client started from the Dock or a desktop menu does not always get the `PATH` of your shell, so a Node.js installed with nvm, fnm or volta can be invisible to it. Run `which npx` in a terminal, use that full path as the command, and add its folder to `PATH` in the `env` block of the server entry, for example `"PATH": "/home/you/.nvm/versions/node/v22.0.0/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"`. The full path alone is not enough: `npx` starts `node` through `PATH`.
 - **PowerShell reports `unknown option '-y'` on `claude mcp add`.** PowerShell drops the `--` separator when `claude` is a script or a function instead of the program itself (an npm-installed Claude Code, or a wrapper in your profile). Call `claude.exe mcp add …` (`claude.cmd` when Claude Code was installed with npm) or run the command from the Command Prompt.
-- **The first start is slow, or the server fails to connect.** `npx` downloads the package the first time and contacts the npm registry on every start, so an empty cache or a slow registry can push startup past the client's limit. In Claude Code, run `/mcp reconnect all` to try again; `MCP_TIMEOUT` (milliseconds) raises the startup limit. To take the registry out of the startup path, install the package globally (`npm install -g outrank-cli@0.6.1`) and use `outrank-cli mcp` as the command.

 - **Every call returns `CLI_AUTH_REQUIRED`.** The server has no key. Add `OUTRANK_API_KEY` to the server entry, or select a stored profile with `--profile`.
 - **Only a few tools are listed.** Read the server instructions in the client: they name the toolsets that are off and why. See [Toolsets](#toolsets).
 - **A long call times out.** `improvements_analyze`, `improvements_candidates_brief`, `improvements_tasks_execute`, `improvements_executions_push`, `articles_generate`, `articles_precreate`, `articles_retry_publish` and `keywords_generate` can run for minutes. When the call does not finish, the result is `CLI_OPERATION_MAY_STILL_BE_RUNNING` and names the tool to poll: the work continues on the server, so poll instead of repeating the call. The server sends progress notifications while such a call runs, but clients do not have to extend their own limit because of them. Claude Code does not cut a tool call off by default: `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` (milliseconds) is about 28 hours when unset, and a `timeout` field on the server's `.mcp.json` entry sets a hard limit for that server which progress notifications do not extend. Cursor (measured on 3.22) stops a call after 120 seconds without a progress notification and keeps waiting while they arrive, so long calls get through there. Other clients may stop after a fixed time whatever the server does; the poll tools are the way through.

 - `webflow` should use validation plus discovery before create. The agent should not guess `site_id`, `collection_id`, or Webflow field mappings.
 - `framer` should use the newer Server API flow only. The agent should not mention the older Framer plugin flow. Validate the project URL and Server API key first, then use `framer collections` and `framer fields` only when the human chooses an existing editable collection. There is no separate plugin-config step in the agent surface.
 - `wix` uses direct validate/create/update/test with a site UUID plus API key. The agent should validate `site_id` and `api_key` before create or after credentials change.

+- `nextjs-blog` create returns a one-time API key. The agent must surface and preserve it immediately because later reads only show that a hash exists, not the plain secret. One key serves both the articles and the marketplace integration of a product: when an active Next.js Blog marketplace integration exists, create reuses its key and returns no `secrets`; creating again issues a new key and invalidates the old one.
 - deleting the current active integration clears the product integration fields automatically
 - `validate` tests unsaved credentials without persisting a row, while `test` re-checks a saved integration row
 - the current CLI surface still does not expose create, update, or test for some providers, and only WordPress.com and Notion currently expose an OAuth connect flow; if the human asks for unsupported operations, say they are not shipped in this CLI yet instead of inventing commands
