getServerInfo

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why getServerInfo needs a policy

This tool only retrieves information about the server—a non-destructive read operation. It has no side effects and cannot cause harm through misuse. Even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly or with various parameters, it cannot damage the Minecraft world, player data, or game state. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getServerInfo' and description 'Get information about the currently connected server' indicate a query operation that retrieves data about server status, players, or configuration without modifying any state.

POLICY

How to control getServerInfo

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 getServerInfo:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getServerInfo": {}
  }
}

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

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