What datasets_creators_search does on Crawlora
AI agents call datasets_creators_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 | — | Full-text query over handle, nickname and bio, max 256 characters |
page | integer | — | Page number, defaults to 1 |
sort | string | — | Sort enum: followers_desc, engagement_desc, likes_desc, relevance. engagement_desc ranks by post-level engagement rate, currently populated for a subset of crea |
niche | string | — | Exact content-niche filter, max 128 characters |
handle | string | — | Exact handle lookup (case-insensitive), e.g. khaby.lame; returns the single creator with that exact @handle |
country | string | — | Exact creator country/region filter, max 128 characters |
verified | boolean | — | Filter by verified badge; true keeps only verified creators |
has_email | boolean | — | Filter by contact-email presence; true keeps only creators with an email |
page_size | integer | — | Page size, defaults to 20 and maxes at 100; page * page_size must be <= 10000 |

Why datasets_creators_search is rated Low
Even though datasets_creators_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 datasets_creators_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 datasets_creators_search, this is the rule to start with:
datasets_creators_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 datasets_creators_search call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about datasets_creators_search
Search the TikTok creators dataset. Searches TikTok creators stored in a search index (one document per creator), with follower counts, verified status, niche, and engagement. Deleted and private accounts are excluded by default; set include_inactive=true to include them for historical lookups. Sort enum: followers_desc, engagement_desc, likes_desc, relevance. Coverage note: followers_desc, likes_desc, and relevance are backed by profile fields present across the full dataset; the post-level engagement metrics (engagement_rate, avg_views, and the nested post_stats object) and the engagement_desc sort are currently populated for a growing subset of creators, prioritizing the highest-reach accounts. Creators without these metrics are still returned but sort last under engagement_desc and omit those fields. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Crawlora MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
datasets_creators_search accepts 11 parameters: q, page, sort, niche, handle, country, verified, has_email, page_size, min_followers, include_inactive. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Crawlora MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for datasets_creators_search: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Crawlora. Nothing to install.
datasets_creators_search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the datasets_creators_search rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for datasets_creators_search. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
datasets_creators_search is provided by the Crawlora MCP server (crawlora-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
