`page`	integer	—	Search page number (1-based)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why apple_podcasts_search is rated Low

Even though apple_podcasts_search 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
