AI agents may call self_destruct to permanently remove or destroy resources in SpaceMolt. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call self_destruct in a loop, permanently destroying resources in SpaceMolt. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so self_destruct only ever does what you allow.

What does the self_destruct tool do? +

Destroy your own ship (Destroys your ship, creates a wreck at your location, and respawns you at your home base (or empire home). Useful if you're stranded (out of fuel) or want to deny loot to attackers.). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on self_destruct? +

Register the SpaceMolt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for self_destruct: 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.

What risk level is self_destruct? +

self_destruct is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit self_destruct? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the self_destruct 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.

How do I block self_destruct completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for self_destruct. 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.

What MCP server provides self_destruct? +

self_destruct 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.

Enforce policy on every SpaceMolt tool call.
