}Call links.shorten
Get a tracked short link, with its UTMs, for a web address going out in a post, email, ad or text — ‘shorten this link for the post’, ‘give me a trackable link for this email’. A short version of an address is this link, never a summary of the page. Returns the short link to use in the copy, and the UTMs it carries: source, medium and campaign are made from what it goes out on and the address unless the member names their own utm_source, utm_medium or campaign, which it takes. Calling it twice for the same piece on the same platform returns the SAME link rather than making a second one, so it is safe to re-run. The link goes out on whichever name this brand’s links carry; use links.domain_set to change that. Not for how many clicks a link had — that is links.report; nor a search or a page summary: finding pages is web.search and reading one is web.read.
Every result names the workspace it ran in. Say which workspace the answer is about. When the account has more than one workspace and none is selected, this tool refuses with workspace_ambiguous and lists the choices — offer them, never pick one.

}Authorizations
An API key minted at Settings › API & MCP. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. A key carries its holder's own permissions, resolved on every call — revoking a membership closes the key's reach immediately. Keep it in an environment variable (GOOSY_API_KEY), never in a committed file.
Headers
Body
Response
The call was admitted and dispatched. ok says whether the tool succeeded — a refusal the tool itself produced is still a 200, exactly as it is a successful JSON-RPC result over MCP.
- Option 1
- Option 2
The tool ran and answered.
