WHAT IT DOES

What build_outpost does on SpaceMolt

AI agents use build_outpost to create or update resources in SpaceMolt, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SpaceMolt environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Name for the new faction outpost
`session_id`	string	Yes	Your session ID from login/register

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why build_outpost is rated Medium

Building an outpost creates a new persistent game entity (a faction outpost) and debits funds from the faction treasury or the player's wallet. This is a Write action (creating a new structure) with financial side effects (fee payment). Since the fee is in-game currency rather than real money, Financial doesn't apply.

From the tool's definition Deploy a lightweight, members-only faction outpost... plant a faction outpost beside the POI... founding fee (faction treasury first, then your wallet)

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs build_outpost safely

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

build_outpost Rate-limited

build_outpost stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about build_outpost

What does the build_outpost tool do? +

Deploy a lightweight, members-only faction outpost at your current point of interest in lawless space (Deploys an Outpost Kit (assembled at an Outpost Frame Assembler) to plant a faction outpost beside the POI you're loitering at — far cheaper than a station. Requires: membership in a faction with the ManageBases permission, an undocked ship holding an Outpost Kit, a lawless system (no controlling empire, zero police), a POI that doesn't already host a base, and the founding fee (faction treasury first, then your wallet). Stars and wormholes can't host outposts. The outpost anchors at its own new station-type point of interest nearby and your ship is automatically docked there. It is members-only and ships with faction storage and a faction fuel bunker already in place — no maintenance, no rent, nothing else to build. Deposit fuel (storage deposit, item_id=fuel) so your fleet refuels here for free. For a full station with services, use 'build_base' instead.). It is categorised as a Write tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does build_outpost accept? +

build_outpost accepts 2 parameters: name, session_id. Required: name, session_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on build_outpost? +

Register the SpaceMolt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_outpost: 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 SpaceMolt. Nothing to install.

What risk level is build_outpost? +

build_outpost is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit build_outpost? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the build_outpost 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.

How do I block build_outpost completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for build_outpost. 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.

What MCP server provides build_outpost? +

build_outpost is provided by the SpaceMolt MCP server (https://game.spacemolt.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
