What add_statetree_state does on Unreal-MCP
AI agents use add_statetree_state 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_statetree_state is rated Medium
This tool creates a new StateTree state within an Unreal Engine 5 project, which is a reversible Write operation. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention and context strongly suggest it modifies editor state by adding a new entity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_statetree_state' indicates creation of a new state in Unreal Engine's StateTree system, consistent with sibling tools like 'add_blueprint_node', 'add_component_to_blueprint', and 'add_data_table_row' which are all Write operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_statetree_state 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_statetree_state, this is the rule to start with:
add_statetree_state 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_statetree_state call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about add_statetree_state
add_statetree_state 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_statetree_state: 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_statetree_state 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_statetree_state 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_statetree_state. 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_statetree_state 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.
