Get users who retweeted a tweet (paginated).
AI agents call get_retweeters to retrieve information from Twikit without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves public information about which users retweeted a specific tweet. It performs a read-only query operation with pagination support. There are no state changes, no data modification, no code execution, and no financial implications. The data retrieved is already public on Twitter/X, so information disclosure risk is minimal. This is a straightforward Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_retweeters' and description 'Get users who retweeted a tweet (paginated)' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirms this is a data query with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_retweeters gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Twikit, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_retweeters:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_retweeters": {}
}
}get_retweeters is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get users who retweeted a tweet (paginated). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Twikit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Twikit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_retweeters: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Twikit. Nothing to install.
get_retweeters is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_retweeters rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_retweeters. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_retweeters is provided by the Twikit MCP server (tangivis/twitter-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Twikit, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
