Every Search Console read fails when the caller uses a named range, on both the public API and the chat assistant.

Problem

resolveDates() (REST) and resolveDateRange() (agent tools) return full datetime bounds. That is correct for the event and session tables, whose ClickHouse columns are DateTime. Search Console stores one row per day, and both of its paths reject a datetime:

  • The gsc_* ClickHouse table types date as a Date, so the comparison throws outright.
  • getGscPageDetails and getGscQueryDetails call Google's searchAnalytics.query live, which documents startDate/endDate as YYYY-MM-DD.

Against a self-hosted 2.3.0 instance with a connected property and a read client:

GET /insights/{projectId}/gsc/overview?range=30d   -> 500
GET /insights/{projectId}/gsc/queries?range=30d    -> 500

GET /insights/{projectId}/gsc/overview?startDate=2026-08-01&endDate=2026-09-04  -> 200
GET /insights/{projectId}/gsc/queries?startDate=2026-08-01&endDate=2026-09-04   -> 200

The API log for the failing calls:

Cannot convert string '2026-08-07 00:00:00' to type Date: while executing function
greaterOrEquals on arguments __table1.date Date UInt16(size = 0),
'2026-08-07 00:00:00'_String String Const(size = 0, String(size = 1)).

The dashboard is unaffected because it reaches GSC over tRPC rather than through these resolvers, which is likely why this has gone unreported.

Outcome

Named ranges work on both surfaces. Explicit startDate/endDate behaviour is unchanged, since those bounds already bypassed the derivation.

  • apps/api/src/controllers/insights.controller.ts — adds resolveGscDates() and routes the seven gsc* handlers through it. The nine non-GSC callers keep resolveDates().
  • apps/api/src/agents/tools/seo.ts — adds gscRange() and applies it at the eight gsc*Core call sites.

Decision

The normalisation sits at the call sites rather than inside the shared resolvers or the queries.

Fixing it in the ClickHouse queries would have repaired only the stored-data path and left the two tools that call Google's API directly still sending a datetime. Fixing it inside resolveDates/resolveDateRange would have broken the event and session tables that depend on the time component.

correlate_seo_with_traffic is why the agent-tools fix is per call site rather than applied to the whole range: it passes one range to gscGetTopPagesCore and to the OpenPanel getTopPagesCore. Only the GSC call is truncated; the OpenPanel call keeps its datetime.

Evidence

The failing and passing requests above are from a live 2.3.0 self-hosted instance with a connected sc-domain: property; the same routes that returned 500 with range=30d return data with date-only bounds.

I have not run the repository's typecheck or test suite locally, so CI is the authority on this change. The agent-tools edit in particular is mechanical — a spread replacing two properties — and has not been exercised against a running assistant.

Notes

The eight agent-tool call sites were found while verifying a review comment that pointed at correlateSeoWithTraffic. The comment placed it in insights.controller.ts; it is in apps/api/src/agents/tools/seo.ts. The underlying issue it raised was real, and this branch now covers it.

The GSC ClickHouse table stores `date` as a `Date` and Google's
searchAnalytics API takes `YYYY-MM-DD`, but `resolveDates` returns a full
datetime — correct for the event and session tables, wrong for both GSC paths.

Every /insights/:projectId/gsc/* route fails for any named `range`:

  Cannot convert string '2026-08-07 00:00:00' to type Date: while executing
  function greaterOrEquals on arguments __table1.date Date, ...

Passing explicit date-only startDate/endDate already works, which is why the
dashboard is unaffected — it reaches GSC over tRPC and does not go through
this resolver.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The controller and SEO tools convert resolved datetimes to YYYY-MM-DD values for Google Search Console requests. The traffic query in correlateSeoWithTraffic continues to use the full datetime range.

Changes

Google Search Console date normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize controller date ranges
apps/api/src/controllers/insights.controller.ts
Adds resolveGscDates and applies date-only ranges to Google Search Console overview, pages, page details, queries, query details, query opportunities, and cannibalization handlers.
Normalize SEO tool date ranges
apps/api/src/agents/tools/seo.ts
Adds gscRange and applies date-only ranges to all Google Search Console tools. correlateSeoWithTraffic keeps full datetimes for the OpenPanel traffic request.

The pre-merge docstring check scopes coverage to functions the diff touches.
Changing one line inside each handler counts the whole function, so the seven
gsc* handlers were analysed undocumented.

Also documents resolveDates, since the distinction it now carries — full
datetime bounds for the DateTime-typed event and session tables, versus
date-only for Search Console — is the point of this change.

Normalize date bounds on the SEO GSC path. resolveDateRange(...) can return yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss for presets such as 30min and lastHour, and the registered SEO tools pass those values unchanged to the GSC cores. Those cores send them to Search Analytics and compare them with ClickHouse Date columns, which require date-only bounds. Add a shared GSC-specific normalization before all GSC core calls, including correlateSeoWithTraffic; do not truncate the shared resolver used by event and session tools.

The eight gsc*Core calls in the SEO chat tools take their range from
resolveDateRange, which returns a full datetime — the same mismatch the REST
handlers had. Every SEO tool in the assistant fails the same way.

Normalised per call site rather than for the whole range, because
correlate_seo_with_traffic feeds one range to both gscGetTopPagesCore and the
OpenPanel getTopPagesCore, and the OpenPanel tables are DateTime-typed. That
call keeps the datetime.
