How it works
The tools panel is live rather than a fixed list. Which maintenance tools are available depends on what exists on the site — a tool that converts legacy Yoast blocks is only offered when such blocks are present, a table rebuild only when the table is missing or damaged.
So reading it before calling rank-math/run-maintenance-tool is not politeness, it is how you find out what the parameter accepts on this particular install.
The Search Console panel explains a whole category of empty results. Several analytics abilities need a connection, and the difference between “no data” and “not connected” is the difference between a site with no traffic and a site that has never been linked.
The version-control panel matters on a site that has been upgraded through several major versions — Rank Math runs database updates between them, and a half-applied update is a real state.

What comes back
| Name | Type | What it is |

data | object | The panel contents. |
success | boolean | Whether the call completed. |

error_code | string | Present only on failure — a stable machine-readable reason, such as a missing field, a wrong field type or an unmet confirmation. |
