|---|---|---|---|
name | string | Yes | Organization name or partial name to search for. |
limit | number | — | Max matches to return (default 10, max 50). |
state | string | — | Optional 2-letter US state/territory code to narrow results, e.g. "NY", "TX", "CA". |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why nonprofit_search_name is rated Low
Even though nonprofit_search_name 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
