WHAT IT DOES

What thunderstore_top_mods does on ModWrench MCP Server

`limit`	integer	—	Number of top mods to return (1-50). Default 10.
`community`	string	Yes	Community identifier.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why thunderstore_top_mods is rated Low

Even though thunderstore_top_mods only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
