Get nearest chest slot usage (used/free/total slots) within 4 blocks.
AI agents call get_chest_status to retrieve information from Minecraft Survival MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
