What add_niagara_simulation_stage does on Unreal-MCP
AI agents use add_niagara_simulation_stage to create or update resources in Unreal-MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Unreal-MCP environment.
Why add_niagara_simulation_stage is rated Medium
This tool creates a new Niagara simulation stage, which modifies the VFX graph and project state reversibly. It fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly). Severity is high because AI agents could generate complex or broken VFX simulations that degrade project performance or require manual cleanup.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_niagara_simulation_stage' indicates creation of a new simulation stage in Niagara VFX system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_niagara_simulation_stage safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Unreal-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_niagara_simulation_stage, this is the rule to start with:
add_niagara_simulation_stage 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 Unreal-MCP, apply this rule, and every add_niagara_simulation_stage call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about add_niagara_simulation_stage
add_niagara_simulation_stage is a write tool on the Unreal MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Unreal-MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Unreal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_niagara_simulation_stage: 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 Unreal-MCP. Nothing to install.
add_niagara_simulation_stage is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_niagara_simulation_stage 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 add_niagara_simulation_stage. 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.
add_niagara_simulation_stage is provided by the Unreal MCP server (aadeshrao123/unreal-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
