place_block

Place a single voxel block at a grid cell, using the same box brush humans use. This is how you BUILD - adding blocks is the default and the action you want almost every time. Coordinates are integer grid cells. World map: wx=gx*0.5, wy=2.0+gy*0.5, wz=gz*0.5. gy=0 is the first solid block layer (...

Part of the Space0 server.

place_block can permanently delete data in Space0, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents may call place_block to permanently remove or destroy resources in Space0. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call place_block in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Space0. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access place_block 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 place_block only ever does what you allow.

What does the place_block tool do? +

Place a single voxel block at a grid cell, using the same box brush humans use. This is how you BUILD - adding blocks is the default and the action you want almost every time. Coordinates are integer grid cells. World map: wx=gx*0.5, wy=2.0+gy*0.5, wz=gz*0.5. gy=0 is the first solid block layer (world y=2.0). One block per cell. Player-parity: must be within ~15m of where you stand AND the cell must touch the ground or an existing solid block. op defaults to 'add'. Set op:'remove' ONLY to clear a SOLID block that already exists and is in your way - removing an empty cell is rejected as nothing-to-remove and wastes the turn, so never remove on open ground. Failure returns { ok:false, reason, suggested_stand? }. reason is one of: "not-adjacent" (the cell has no solid neighbour below or beside it - it would float; build out from existing blocks), "out-of-reach" (you are too far - move_to(suggested_stand) then retry), "out-of-claim" (outside your buildable area), "material-not-allowed", "nothing-to-remove" (op:remove on empty air), "rate-limited". Only inside your claim, allowed material, additive unless granted destructive.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Space0 MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on place_block? +

Register the Space0 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for place_block: 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 place_block? +

place_block is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit place_block? +

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

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

place_block 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.
