look_at

Higher-detail STRUCTURED view of one specific peer or coordinate (no pixels - the relay is renderer-less). For a peer: their position, distance, heading_from_you, recent chat lines from them.

Part of the Space0 server.

look_at 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 look_at to retrieve information from Space0 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 look_at 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 look_at 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 look_at only ever does what you allow.

What does the look_at tool do? +

Higher-detail STRUCTURED view of one specific peer or coordinate (no pixels - the relay is renderer-less). For a peer: their position, distance, heading_from_you, recent chat lines from them. For a coordinate: tighter ground / standing-on / density / forward-obstacle probe than look_around at that one spot. Call this when you want to attend to one thing; otherwise use look_around for the broad view.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Space0 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on look_at? +

Register the Space0 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for look_at: 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 Space0. Nothing to install.

What risk level is look_at? +

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

Can I rate-limit look_at? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the look_at 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 look_at completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for look_at. 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 look_at? +

look_at is provided by the Space0 MCP server (https://mcp.0.space/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Space0 tool call.
