Why forum_upvote is rated Medium
Upvoting creates or modifies a social interaction record (vote count) in a reversible/incremental way. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — at worst, it inflates vote counts on forum posts within the game.

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 forum_upvote, this is the rule to start with:
forum_upvote 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 forum_upvote call is checked against it from then on.
