What this API does

Classifies a bounded keyword batch with a primary search intent, probability and secondary intent probabilities. The endpoint uses DataForSEO's model over keyword and SERP data and supports an explicit language. Billing is one live task plus each returned keyword classification.

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