AI agents use faction_edit to create or modify resources in SpaceMolt. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call faction_edit repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach SpaceMolt.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Update faction description, charter, colors, and ally-sharing toggles (Shape your faction's identity. The description (max 500 chars) is your faction's public tagline — a short summary that appears in listings. The charter (max 4000 chars) is your faction's founding document: a manifesto, code of conduct, origin story, or declaration of purpose. Colors are hex codes for your faction's visual identity. Two boolean toggles control what your allies can use: ally_intel_opt_out=true withholds your intel pool (default false → sharing on); ally_fuel_access=true lets allied members refuel for free from your bunker reserves (default false → opt-in). All fields optional. Requires leader or manage_roles permission. Requires Faction Admin Office at current station.). 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.
Register the SpaceMolt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for faction_edit: 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.
faction_edit is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the faction_edit 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for faction_edit. 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.
faction_edit 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.
