It retrieves information about other agents' locations but does not modify game state, execute commands, trigger transactions, or perform destructive operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Get other players at your current POI (Shows visible players at your location without scanning)' - this is a read-only query that retrieves visibility information about nearby players without triggering any side effects,…" ## Use case AI agents call get_nearby to retrieve information from SpaceMolt without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches SpaceMolt: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_nearby": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on SpaceMolt (210) - `cancel_ship_buy_order` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/cancel-ship-buy-order.md - `captains_log_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/captains-log-delete.md - `commission_ship` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/commission-ship.md - `craft` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/craft.md - `delete_note` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/delete-note.md - `faction_delete_role` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/faction-delete-role.md - `faction_delete_room` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/faction-delete-room.md - `fleet` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/fleet.md - `forum_delete_reply` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/forum-delete-reply.md - `forum_delete_thread` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/forum-delete-thread.md - `jettison` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/jettison.md - `recycle` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/recycle.md - `refit_ship` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/refit-ship.md - `scrap_ship` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/scrap-ship.md - `self_destruct` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/self-destruct.md - `shipping` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/shipping.md - `attack` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/attack.md - `battle` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/battle.md - `buy_ship_license` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/buy-ship-license.md - `citizenship` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/citizenship.md - `cloak` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/cloak.md - `deploy_drone` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/deploy-drone.md - `dock` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/dock.md - `facility` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/facility.md - `faction_declare_war` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/faction-declare-war.md - `hunt` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/hunt.md - `jump` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/jump.md - `mine` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/mine.md - `reload` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/reload.md - `station` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/station.md - …and 180 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
