slug | string | Yes | A ranking slug from list_rankings, for example "3d-art-in-poland" or "overall". |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_ranking is rated Low
Even though get_ranking 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
