What get_uid does on Godot MCP
AI agents call get_uid to retrieve information from Godot MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_uid is rated Low
The tool performs a simple lookup/retrieval of a file identifier (UID). This is a passive read operation with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive capability. The blast radius is minimal — an AI agent misusing this tool could only retrieve file identifiers, which are non-sensitive metadata already available through normal project inspection.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_uid' and description states 'Get the UID for a specific file in a Godot project' — this is a read-only query operation that retrieves metadata about a file without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_uid safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Godot MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_uid, this is the rule to start with:
get_uid is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot MCP, apply this rule, and every get_uid call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_uid
Get the UID for a specific file in a Godot project (for Godot 4.4+). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_uid: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Godot MCP. Nothing to install.
get_uid is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_uid rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_uid. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_uid is provided by the Godot MCP server (6ninelives/godot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
