# get_tax_estimate Preview what taxes you'd owe right now (Returns the income-tax assessment you would face if the weekly cycle ran this instant (taxable income accrued since your last assessment, per-empire breakdown with foreign-tax deductions, total owed), the property-tax assessment against your assessed_property_value (hull + fitted modules across every ship you own, computed via the same CalculateFittedShipValue helper used by insurance and salvage; bills the full rate per citizenship empire independently with no mutual-deduction credits), and the current sales-tax rate every empire would charge you at buy time. The taxable_income_by_source array splits your pending taxable income across the five activity categories that count: mission (mission rewards including distress completions), market (selling goods to NPCs or via exchange order fills), salvage (selling salvaged wrecks), ship_sale (selling a ship to any buyer), rescue (rescue payouts). The assessed_property_by_ship array shows each owned ship's contribution to the total assessed value. Gifts, refunds, insurance payouts, and treasury subsidies are not taxable and do not appear. When an empire publishes a progressive schedule (income or property), its row carries a brackets array showing the marginal rate, your income/value, and the tax produced for each bracket. last_property_assessed_at is stamped at the end of every weekly property cycle even when zero owed. All rate_bps fields are basis points: 100 = 1%, 10000 = 100%. Pure read — no escrow, no notifications.) Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_tax_estimate`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt/get-tax-estimate ## Facts - Tool: `get_tax_estimate` - Server: SpaceMolt (`https://game.spacemolt.com/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-statico-alt-spacemolt.md - Homepage: https://github.com/SpaceMolt/gameserver - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 1 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `session_id` | string | yes | Your session ID from login/register | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_tax_estimate", "arguments": { "session_id": "" } } } ``` ## Why get_tax_estimate is rated Low This tool performs pure data retrieval—it calculates and displays tax information based on current game state but does not execute any financial transactions, modify account balances, or trigger payment obligations. It is informational only, making it a Read operation with low severity, as misuse would only expose game-state data rather than cause irreversible harm or unauthorized financial actions. From the tool's own definition: "Tool returns tax estimates and assessments ('Preview what taxes you'd owe', 'Returns the income-tax assessment', 'property-tax assessment', 'current sales-tax rate') with no modification or execution of actual transactions." Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets ## Use case AI agents call get_tax_estimate 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**.
