|---|---|---|---|
page | integer | — | 1-based page number (default 1) |
sort | string | — | Sort order |
type | string | Yes | Content type |
genre | string | — | Genre filter (e.g. Action) |
per_page | integer | — | Results per page (default 24, max 100) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why metacritic_browse is rated Low
Even though metacritic_browse 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 metacritic_browse safely

metacritic_browse 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 metacritic_browse call is checked against it from then on.
