fly-to · Minecraft MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What fly-to does on Minecraft MCP Server

AI agents invoke fly-to to trigger actions in Minecraft MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why fly-to needs a policy

Flying to a position is an active in-game operation that moves the bot character through the Minecraft world. It is not a simple read, and while it doesn't delete data, it causes real side effects in the game state (position change, potential interaction with the environment). It falls under Execute as it triggers an external operation dependent on arguments.

From the tool's definition 'Make the bot fly to a specific position' — triggers an external operation (movement in a live Minecraft world) whose effects depend on the target coordinates provided.
