For example consider the datasets from "Barro Colorado Island". The "tool" (website) doesn't host the data. It simply provides an interface that links to
Terms and conditions (which could be a link to a CC license you choose).
Data request forms (which could be simply a link to a google form).
Background
The software in the backend of the app uses the same license as every other tilt packckage: GPLv3. But the users of the app see a front end which says nothing about how we expect them to use the data.
The best licenses for software or data are typically different:
All these licenses [e.g. GPLv3] are designed specifically to apply to source code [e.g. the tiltIndicator package], so if you’re releasing a package that primarily contains data, you should use a different type of license. -- https://r-pkgs.org/license.html#licenses-for-data
A license that is frequently used in open source data is CCO but it seems too liberal for what you want. A better one might be CCO-BY-NC-ND:
There are six different CC license types and they all provide attribution and free access to your publication. The available ‘building blocks’ for a license are:
BY – Credit must be given to the creator
SA – Adaptations must be shared under the same terms
NC – Only noncommercial uses of the work are permitted
ND – No derivatives or adaptations of the work are permitted

It's currently unclear which license applies to the downloaded data.
Examples
ForestGEO (my previous employer) hosts a similar "tool" (website) to explore and request multiple datasets.
