What checkInventory does on MCP Minecraft Remote

AI agents call checkInventory to retrieve information from MCP Minecraft Remote without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why checkInventory needs a policy

This tool merely inspects and reports the current contents of a player's inventory. It has no side effects, performs no modifications, and initiates no external operations. It is a straightforward read operation on game state. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose information about in-game resources, with no capability to alter game state or cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'checkInventory' and description 'Check the items in the player inventory' indicate a query operation that retrieves inventory state without modification or execution of code/commands.

How to control checkInventory

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Minecraft Remote, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for checkInventory:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "checkInventory": {}
  }
}

checkInventory is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Minecraft Remote — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
