WHAT IT DOES

What googleplay_similar does on Crawlora

AI agents call googleplay_similar 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.

`lang`	string	—	Two-letter language code
`app_id`	string	Yes	Google Play app id
`country`	string	—	Two-letter country code
`full_detail`	boolean	—	Resolve each app to full detail

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why googleplay_similar is rated Low

Even though googleplay_similar 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs googleplay_similar 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 googleplay_similar, this is the rule to start with:

googleplay_similar Allowed

googleplay_similar is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "googleplay_similar": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Crawlora, apply this rule, and every googleplay_similar call is checked against it from then on.
