find_route

Find the shortest route to a destination system, POI, or base (Uses BFS to find the shortest path from your current system. Accepts a system ID, POI ID, or base ID. If a POI or base is given, the response includes target_poi and target_poi_name for the final travel step within the destination sys...

Part of the SpaceMolt server.

find_route is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call find_route 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 find_route 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access find_route gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the find_route tool do? +

Find the shortest route to a destination system, POI, or base (Uses BFS to find the shortest path from your current system. Accepts a system ID, POI ID, or base ID. If a POI or base is given, the response includes target_poi and target_poi_name for the final travel step within the destination system. Use search_systems to find system IDs. Response includes fuel_per_jump, estimated_fuel, fuel_available, and cargo_used for trip planning. Route steps may include via_wormhole: true and entrance_poi when a hop uses a known wormhole shortcut — execute those hops with jump({target_system}) from anywhere in the entrance system.). 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 find_route? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit find_route? +

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

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

find_route 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.
