My google-fu is failing. I see this and copies of this article, but I want to know more about the I/O available to the AI. Did the AI get full access to the Minecraft API or were they limited audio, video, keyboard, mouse like a human player?

The documentation [1] has details. For input they get an RGB image (i.e. what a player would see on the screen, minus the UI) and other relevant information (e.g. inventory). For output they have to specify from a list of possible actions that they can take: move forward, move back, craft an item, etc.
