Part of the TopYappers MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call search_viral_content 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_viral_content 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.

Discover viral TikTok content. Filter by content category, country, view count, virality score (views÷followers ratio, 0–1), date range, music/sound title, and opening hook text. Returns video URLs, engagement metrics, virality scores, and creator info. Costs 1 credit per result.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TopYappers MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for search_viral_content. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the TopYappers MCP server.
search_viral_content 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_viral_content rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for search_viral_content. 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_viral_content is provided by the TopYappers MCP server (top/yappers). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
