What this API does

Returns a consolidated Google keyword view for a bounded location and language, including monthly demand, paid competition, CPC, intent, SEO difficulty and optional SERP summary fields. Clickstream enrichment is excluded because it doubles supplier cost; billing is one live task plus each returned keyword.

Agents select this operation with tool ID dataforseo.keyword-overview, then inspect its current executable contract before a run.
