WHAT IT DOES

What crawl_website does on GadgetHumans API Hub

AI agents invoke crawl_website to trigger actions in GadgetHumans API Hub. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why crawl_website is rated High

Crawling a website triggers external HTTP requests to third-party systems. It is not a simple read of local data — it actively fetches and traverses remote resources, which constitutes an external operation. Misuse could result in unwanted traffic, scraping of sensitive sites, or triggering rate-limiting/banning of the host IP.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs crawl_website safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GadgetHumans API Hub, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For crawl_website, this is the rule to start with:

crawl_website Rate-limited

crawl_website stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }
  }
}

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