Why self_destruct is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly deletes/destroys game data (the player's ship), which is the core definition of Destructive category. While the action is intentional and performed on the player's own asset, it cannot be undone and results in permanent loss of the ship.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'self_destruct' and description explicitly states 'Destroy your own ship' and 'Destroys your ship'. This is an irreversible action that destroys an asset (the player's ship).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs self_destruct 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 self_destruct, this is the rule to start with:
self_destruct is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect SpaceMolt, apply this rule, and every self_destruct call is checked against it from then on.
