What inspect does on SpaceMolt
AI agents call inspect 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Yes | Visible package, item, module, ship class, system, POI, or base ID to inspect |
session_id | string | Yes | Your session ID from login/register |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why inspect is rated Low
Even though inspect only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs inspect safely
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 inspect, this is the rule to start with:
inspect is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 inspect call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about inspect
Inspect a visible package, item, module, ship class, system, POI, or docked base by ID (Routes the ID to the relevant inventory, catalog, or location query. Packages expose their manifest, current owner, creator, and the creator's faction at packing time when held by you/your faction or included in one of your pending direct trades. Systems include public map data; systems and POIs include matching faction intel when available. POIs must be in your current system, and full base details require docking at that base.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
inspect accepts 2 parameters: id, session_id. Required: id, session_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the SpaceMolt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for inspect: 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.
inspect is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the inspect 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for inspect. 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.
inspect 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.
