What datasets_github_users_search does on Crawlora
AI agents call datasets_github_users_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 login, name, company, bio and location, max 256 characters |
lat | number | — | Latitude for radius filtering or distance sort |
lon | number | — | Longitude for radius filtering or distance sort |
city | string | — | Exact geocoded city filter, max 128 characters |
page | integer | — | Page number, defaults to 1 |
sort | string | — | Sort enum: relevance, rank_score_desc, followers_desc, account_age_desc, account_age_asc, distance_asc |
login | string | — | Exact login filter, max 128 characters |
state | string | — | Exact geocoded state filter, max 128 characters |
domain | string | — | Interest-domain tag filter (e.g. ml-ai, web, devops), max 128 characters |
is_bot | boolean | — | Bot filter (normally false; the crawl skips bots) |

Why datasets_github_users_search is rated Low
Even though datasets_github_users_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_github_users_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_github_users_search, this is the rule to start with:
datasets_github_users_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_github_users_search call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about datasets_github_users_search

Sort enum: relevance, rank_score_desc, followers_desc, account_age_desc, account_age_asc, distance_asc. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Crawlora MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
datasets_github_users_search accepts 12 parameters: q, lat, lon, city, page, sort, login, state, domain, is_bot, is_org, company. 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_github_users_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_github_users_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_github_users_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_github_users_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_github_users_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.
