WHAT IT DOES

What update_project_uids does on Godot MCP

AI agents use update_project_uids to create or update resources in Godot MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot MCP environment.

RISK

Why update_project_uids is rated Medium

The tool updates and rewrites resource UIDs in a Godot project, which constitutes data modification. While the operation could theoretically corrupt UIDs if misapplied (making it potentially destructive), the stated purpose is to update references during a normal maintenance operation (resaving resources). This is reversible via version control, distinguishing it from Destructive category.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update UID references in a Godot project by resaving resources' — this modifies project files (UIDs) through a resave operation, which is reversible through version control or undoing the resave.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_project_uids 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 update_project_uids, this is the rule to start with:

update_project_uids Rate-limited

update_project_uids stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 update_project_uids call is checked against it from then on.
