move-to-position · Minecraft MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What move-to-position does on Minecraft MCP Server

AI agents invoke move-to-position 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-to-position needs a policy

This tool causes the AI-controlled bot to physically navigate to a specified location in the game world. It triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the arguments provided (coordinates). While not destructive or financial, it executes real in-game actions that can affect the bot's state and interactions with the environment, making Execute the most appropriate category.

From the tool's definition 'Move the bot to a specific position' — triggers external operation (navigation/movement) in the Minecraft world
