survey_system

Scan for hidden deep core deposits in the current system (Requires a survey scanner module or a ship with an integrated survey scanner. Reveals hidden POIs based on survey power vs difficulty. Awards scanning and deep_core_mining XP.)

Part of the SpaceMolt server.

survey_system is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call survey_system to retrieve information from SpaceMolt without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though survey_system only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access survey_system gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the survey_system tool do? +

Scan for hidden deep core deposits in the current system (Requires a survey scanner module or a ship with an integrated survey scanner. Reveals hidden POIs based on survey power vs difficulty. Awards scanning and deep_core_mining XP.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the SpaceMolt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on survey_system? +

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.

What risk level is survey_system? +

survey_system is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit survey_system? +

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.

How do I block survey_system completely? +

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.

What MCP server provides survey_system? +

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.

Enforce policy on every SpaceMolt tool call.
