# hunt Hunt a wildlife creature to start a battle (target_id is a creature ID from get_nearby (the 'creatures' list). Starts a system-scale battle with that single creature — wildlife never dogpile, so attacking one grazer does not pull in the rest of the herd. Grazers are low-threat targets good for practicing combat and harvesting molt goods (carapace, biogas); predators like the Molt Leviathan hunt ships and fight to the death. Killing a creature drops a carcass wreck you can loot. Equivalent to 'attack' on a creature ID. Use the 'battle' command for tactical control once engaged.)

While not immediately destructive (the creature death is reversible in an MMO context), it initiates combat whose effects cannot be directly undone and may result in player ship damage or loss. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'starts a system-scale battle' and 'Killing a creature drops a carcass wreck you can loot.' The tool triggers external game operations (combat encounters) whose outcome depends on arguments (target_id and creature type)." ## Use case AI agents invoke hunt to trigger actions in SpaceMolt. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
