# datasets_steam_charts_search Search the steam-charts dataset. Searches daily snapshots of Steam's player-count and sales charts, stored in a search index (one document per chart × country × snapshot × rank) so history accumulates. Charts: most_played (weekly peak concurrent), concurrent (live concurrent players), top_sellers (weekly sales; country-specific). With no date the latest snapshot is returned (today's chart); pair app_id with sort=date_desc for an app's rank/players over time. Country is global for the player-count charts or an ISO code (e.g. us) for top_sellers. Sort enum: rank, rank_desc, date_desc.

It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Crawlora: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "datasets_steam_charts_search": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Crawlora (727) - `anime_title` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-title.md - `coingecko_new_coins` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/coingecko-new-coins.md - `justwatch_discover` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/justwatch-discover.md - `justwatch_new` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/justwatch-new.md - `manga_title` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/manga-title.md - `steam_charts_top_releases` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/steam-charts-top-releases.md - `yahoo_finance_ticker_history` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/yahoo-finance-ticker-history.md - `airbnb_host` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/airbnb-host.md - `airbnb_host_listings` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/airbnb-host-listings.md - `airbnb_host_reviews` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/airbnb-host-reviews.md - `airbnb_room` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/airbnb-room.md - `airbnb_room_calendar` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/airbnb-room-calendar.md - `airbnb_room_reviews` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/airbnb-room-reviews.md - `airbnb_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/airbnb-search.md - `amazon_product` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/amazon-product.md - `amazon_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/amazon-search.md - `amazon_suggest` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/amazon-suggest.md - `anime_character` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-character.md - `anime_character_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-character-search.md - `anime_rankings` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-rankings.md - `anime_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-search.md - `anime_title_characters` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-title-characters.md - `anime_title_recommendations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-title-recommendations.md - `anime_title_staff` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/anime-title-staff.md - `apple_podcasts_charts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/apple-podcasts-charts.md - `apple_podcasts_episodes_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/apple-podcasts-episodes-search.md - `apple_podcasts_search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/apple-podcasts-search.md - `apple_podcasts_show` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/apple-podcasts-show.md - `apple_podcasts_show_episodes` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/apple-podcasts-show-episodes.md - `appstore_app` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp/appstore-app.md - …and 697 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/crawlora-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
