AI agents call search_creators to retrieve information from TopYappers without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though search_creators only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_creators gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Search for influencers and creators across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Filter by followers, average views, engagement rate, content category, country, language, bio keywords, promoted products, niches, hashtags, username, and email. This endpoint is FREE — it returns creator IDs. Pass those IDs to get_creator_profiles to fetch full profiles with details. The 'nichesToPromote' filter is especially powerful for AI-analyzed niche matching (e.g. 'SaaS', 'skincare', 'fitness supplements').. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TopYappers MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TopYappers MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_creators: 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 TopYappers. Nothing to install.
search_creators 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 search_creators 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 search_creators. 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.
search_creators is provided by the TopYappers MCP server (top/yappers). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
