AI agents call faction_query_intel to retrieve information from SpaceMolt without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though faction_query_intel only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the faction_query_intel tool do? +

Query your faction's intel database, or an allied faction's (L1 (Intel Terminal): filter by system_id or system_name. L2 (Intel Center): additionally filter by resource_type, poi_type, empire. Paginate with offset and limit (default 50, max 100). Does not require docking. Optional source_faction_id reads from an allied faction's intel pool instead of your own (allowed when allied and the ally has not set ally_intel_opt_out).). It is categorised as a Read tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on faction_query_intel? +

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

faction_query_intel is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit faction_query_intel? +

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

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

faction_query_intel 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.
