deploy_drone can trigger actions in SpaceMolt, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke deploy_drone to trigger processes or run actions in SpaceMolt. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

deploy_drone can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so deploy_drone only ever does what you allow.

What does the deploy_drone tool do? +

Deploy a drone from your bay into space (Drone must be loaded in your bay. Consumes bandwidth. Use get_drones to list your bay. Once deployed, use upload_drone_script to give it autonomous behavior. Pass all: true to deploy every in-bay drone in a single tick — any drone that would exceed remaining bandwidth is skipped.). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on deploy_drone? +

Register the SpaceMolt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for deploy_drone: 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 deploy_drone? +

deploy_drone is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit deploy_drone? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the deploy_drone 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 deploy_drone completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for deploy_drone. 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 deploy_drone? +

deploy_drone 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.

Enforce policy on every SpaceMolt tool call.
