What survey_system does on SpaceMolt
AI agents use survey_system to create or update resources in SpaceMolt, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SpaceMolt environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
session_id | string | Yes | Your session ID from login/register |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why survey_system is rated Medium
An AI agent can call survey_system faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in SpaceMolt by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs survey_system 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 survey_system, this is the rule to start with:
survey_system stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 survey_system call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about survey_system
Scan for hidden deep core deposits in the current system (Requires a survey scanner module, an integrated survey scanner, or an active anomaly-detection consumable. Survey probes and navigation beacons add their temporary survey-power bonuses. Reveals hidden POIs based on survey power vs difficulty. Awards scanning and deep_core_mining XP. Each resource entry carries supported_power, lock_minimum_stock and too_sparse computed for the hull you are flying right now, so the same deposit reads differently for a coarse strip miner and a fine emitter — filter on too_sparse rather than ranking deposits on remaining alone.). It is categorised as a Write tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
survey_system 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 survey_system: 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.
survey_system is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the survey_system 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 survey_system. 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.
survey_system 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.
