What coingecko_search does on Crawlora
AI agents call coingecko_search 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 |
limit | integer | — | Rows per section to return, default 10, max 50 |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why coingecko_search is rated Low
Even though coingecko_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
The rule that runs coingecko_search safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Crawlora, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For coingecko_search, this is the rule to start with:
coingecko_search is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Crawlora, apply this rule, and every coingecko_search call is checked against it from then on.
