What create_faction does on SpaceMolt
AI agents use create_faction 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
tag | string | Yes | Faction tag (2-4 characters) |
name | string | Yes | Faction name (must be unique) |
session_id | string | Yes | Your session ID from login/register |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why create_faction is rated Medium
This tool creates a new persistent game object (a faction) that modifies the game state. Creation is reversible in principle (e.g., faction could be deleted or abandoned later), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new faction' with constraints on tag and name uniqueness, indicating irreversible creation of a new game entity.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_faction 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 create_faction, this is the rule to start with:
create_faction 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect SpaceMolt, apply this rule, and every create_faction call is checked against it from then on.
