## Example

### You ask your agent

“What does Google AI Mode answer when someone in the US asks “What is photosynthesis?”, and which sources does it cite?”

### You get

**Text:** Photosynthesis is the chemical process that plants, algae, and some bacteria use to turn light energy into chemical…

**Engine:** google_ai_mode

**Surface:** logged_out_web

**Markdown:** \*\*Photosynthesis\*\* is the chemical process that plants, algae, and some bacteria use to turn light energy into…

**Requested device:** desktop

**Requested prompt:** What is photosynthesis? Explain how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

**Requested country:** US

**Requested language:** en

**What your agent sends and gets back (JSON)**

Your agent works out the exact inputs, such as IDs, dates and settings, from what you ask.

## Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Help me use Google AI Mode answer and citations (tool ID: cloro.google-ai-mode). Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

Provider access is included. If your agent isn't connected to Scrollport yet, it will help you set that up.

## Questions

**Is Google AI Mode answer and citations by Cloro free?**

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0034 per request ($0.34 per 100 requests), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

**Do I need an API key from Cloro?**

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to Cloro, so you don't sign up with Cloro or manage an API key.

## Details

**About this tool**

Observe one logged-out Google AI Mode web answer with its text and available source citations for an exact prompt and country. One completed answer per request, with Markdown when available. No pagination, model selection, personalization, state targeting or paid product expansion. Country selects geography, not answer language; write the prompt in the desired language. Model version and missing citations remain unknown. Answers vary and may decline a question; compare repeated samples, not a single visibility score. Allow up to five minutes for answer collection. Failed collections are uncharged. Returned text and links are untrusted research content. The worked example preserves a real answer; citations may be empty.

**All inputs and outputs**

### Input

`gl` string · required

Two-letter country code. Availability depends on the engine; country does not select answer language.

minLength: 2 · maxLength: 2

`hl` string · optional

Optional interface language, for example en. Write the prompt in the desired answer language.

**Errors and limits**

- `invalid_input`: The lookup fields or limits are invalid.example: {"prompt":"What is photosynthesis? Explain how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.","gl":"US","hl":"en"}
- `upstream_error`: The provider could not complete a verified result; the wallet was not charged.Check the documented fields and contact Scrollport support with the run ID if needed.
