What list_worlds does on Minecraft Server MCP

AI agents call list_worlds to retrieve information from Minecraft Server MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_worlds needs a policy

This tool only retrieves info rmation ab out existing worlds and their metadata (sizes). It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, matching the ' Read' categ ory definition. S eve rity is low because merely listing world s poses minimal risk, even if an AI agent misuses this tool—the worst case is information disclosure about server state, not destruction, modification, or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool na m e is 'list_ worlds' a nd d escriptio n sta tes 'List a ll Mi necraft wo rld s... with their size s' - this retrieves and queries data without mod ifying or deleting any thing.
