move-in-direction · Minecraft MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What move-in-direction does on Minecraft MCP Server

AI agents invoke move-in-direction 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 move-in-direction needs a policy

This tool executes an in-game action (movement) in a Minecraft world. While it has no destructive or financial implications, it does trigger an external operation whose effects depend on the direction and duration arguments. Misuse could cause the bot to wander into danger or off cliffs, but the blast radius is limited to in-game consequences.

From the tool's definition 'Move the bot in a specific direction for a duration' — triggers external operation (movement) in the game world
