AI agents call getRecipes 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.
This tool queries and returns crafting recipe information from the Minecraft server. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves existing data without modifying game state, creating resources, executing arbitrary code, or causing irreversible changes. The query nature of the operation and the absence of any mutation or execution capability places it firmly in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getRecipes' and description 'Get a list of available crafting recipes' indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getRecipes gives an agent:
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 getRecipes:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getRecipes": {}
}
}getRecipes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get a list of available crafting recipes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Minecraft Remote MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Minecraft Remote MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getRecipes: 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 MCP Minecraft Remote. Nothing to install.
getRecipes is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getRecipes 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 getRecipes. 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.
getRecipes is provided by the MCP Minecraft Remote MCP server (nacal/mcp-minecraft-remote). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP Minecraft Remote, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
