datasets_jobs_nearby
Find postings near a coordinate. Finds crawled job postings within radius_km of a lat/lon, nearest first. Only geocoded postings participate (the geo-enrich worker back-fills coordinates from each posting's location). Open roles only by default. provider enum matches search.

What datasets_jobs_nearby does on Crawlora
AI agents call datasets_jobs_nearby 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.

lat | number | Yes | Latitude, -90..90 |
lon | number | Yes | Longitude, -180..180 |
page | integer | — | Page number, default 1 |
provider | string | — | ATS provider filter |
page_size | integer | — | Page size, default 20, max 100 |
radius_km | number | — | Search radius in km, default 50, max 500 |
include_closed | boolean | — | Include closed/filled roles (default false) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why datasets_jobs_nearby is rated Low
This tool retrieves and filters existing job posting data based on geographic proximity. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. The only action is querying a dataset and returning results, which is characteristic of a Read category tool. Severity is low because querying public job postings poses minimal risk of misuse by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find postings near a coordinate' and 'Finds crawled job postings' — these are retrieval/query operations. The parameters are lat/lon for filtering and radius_km for scoping the search radius.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs datasets_jobs_nearby 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_jobs_nearby, this is the rule to start with:
datasets_jobs_nearby 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_jobs_nearby call is checked against it from then on.

Only geocoded postings participate (the geo-enrich worker back-fills coordinates from each posting's location). Open roles only by default. provider enum matches search. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Crawlora MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
datasets_jobs_nearby accepts 7 parameters: lat, lon, page, provider, page_size, radius_km, include_closed. Required: lat, lon. 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_jobs_nearby: 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_jobs_nearby 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_jobs_nearby 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_jobs_nearby. 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_jobs_nearby 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.
