WHAT IT DOES

What brave_suggest does on Crawlora

AI agents call brave_suggest to retrieve information from Crawlora without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`q`	string	Yes	Search query prefix
`lang`	string	—	Brave UI language; defaults to en-us
`count`	integer	—	Suggestions to return; defaults to 10, clamped to 1..12
`country`	string	—	Brave result country; defaults to us

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why brave_suggest is rated Low

Even though brave_suggest 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
