Get information about a block at the specified position
AI agents call get-block-info to retrieve information from Minecraft MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries information about a block's properties at a given coordinate without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any irreversible actions. It is purely informational retrieval, matching the Read category. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this tool cannot cause harm beyond wasting API calls or learning unwanted game state details.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-block-info' and description 'Get information about a block at the specified position' indicate retrieval of data about game state with no modification or side effects.
