Import link watches

import_link_watches Import up to 100 known backlinks. Each row returns its position and success or error. accepted includes existing placements; created counts only new watches. Invalid rows do not prevent valid rows from being imported.

Available in the deployed MCP and HTTP bundle. Confirm access and inputs with your connected catalog. Workspace scopes and enabled providers still apply.

Access	Behavior
`watches:write`	Writes or admits work

This operation changes saved state. Review its inputs and retry behavior before calling.

Example request

Connect through MCP, CLI, or HTTP. Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in structuredContent and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

Field	Type	Presence	Meaning and constraints
`projectId`	string	Required	Identifier of the project returned by its create or list operation. minLength: 1; maxLength: 200
`watches`	array	Required	Rows use sourceUrl and targetUrl, plus optional targetScope, cadenceSeconds, expectedAnchor, expectedRel and localReference. Each invalid row returns an error at its position; valid rows continue. minItems: 1; maxItems: 100
`watches[].sourceUrl`	string	Required	format: “uri”
`watches[].targetUrl`	string	Required	format: “uri”
`watches[].targetScope`	string	Optional	values: “exact”, “domain”, “subdomain”, “path”
`watches[].cadenceSeconds`	integer	Optional	minimum: 3600; maximum: 2592000
`watches[].expectedAnchor`	string / null	Optional
`watches[].expectedRel`	array / null	Optional
`watches[].localReference`	string	Optional	maxLength: 200

Validation and omitted values

Each watch row uses monitor_link defaults: targetScope exact and cadenceSeconds 86400 when omitted; omitted expectations and localReference are empty. Each row is processed separately. Invalid rows produce indexed errors while valid rows continue. accepted includes reused watches; created counts only new watches. Relation expectations allow at most twenty tokens, each one to forty letters, digits, _ or -; values are lowercased, deduplicated and sorted.

Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. Common schema conventions explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

status (string, required): Resource lifecycle status.
admission (object / null, optional).
rows (array, required).
imported (number, required).
accepted (number, required).
created (number, required): True when this request created the record; false when an existing record was reused.

Errors and retries

This command is not annotated idempotent. After a timeout, inspect existing state before repeating a write. See error recovery for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

HTTP resource routes

These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See HTTP route details.
