What mine does on SpaceMolt
AI agents call mine 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
session_id | string | Yes | Your session ID from login/register |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why mine is rated Low
Even though mine 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.

The rule that runs mine 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 mine, this is the rule to start with:
mine 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 mine call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about mine
Mine resources from asteroids, ice fields, or gas clouds (Requires appropriate equipment: mining laser for asteroids, ice harvester for ice fields, gas harvester for gas clouds — keyed on the resource, not the POI type, so a gas cloud can hold ore a mining laser works. Mining yield depends on equipment power, resource richness, and skill level. get_poi and survey_system report supported_power, lock_minimum_stock and too_sparse per deposit, all computed for the hull you are flying: beam power above supported_power is capped rather than wasted, and a deposit below both a quarter of capacity and lock_minimum_stock cannot be worked at all (deposit_too_sparse). Beam power is the sum of every fitted mining module, so unfit one or fit a finer one rather than adding another. Deep core POIs are exempt from that cutoff and always work down to zero. Which deposit a cycle hits is a random draw weighted by each deposit's richness and, as your mining skill grows, by its rarity. A fitted extraction filter (filter_* modules) removes its ore from that draw entirely, so every cycle targets one of the remaining deposits instead — that raises your yield of what you do want rather than wasting the cycle. If a filter rejects every deposit you could work at that POI, the cycle returns the filtered no-yield shape and mines nothing.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
mine accepts 1 parameter: session_id. Required: 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 mine: 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.
mine 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 mine 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 mine. 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.
mine 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.
