What connect_niagara_pins does on Unreal-MCP
AI agents use connect_niagara_pins 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 connect_niagara_pins is rated Medium
This tool creates a connection (wire) between two nodes in a Niagara scratch pad graph. It modifies the graph structure by adding a link, which is a reversible write operation. No code is executed, no data is deleted, and no financial transactions are involved.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs connect_niagara_pins 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 connect_niagara_pins, this is the rule to start with:
connect_niagara_pins 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 connect_niagara_pins call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about connect_niagara_pins
Wire one node's output pin to another node's input pin inside a scratch pad graph. 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 connect_niagara_pins: 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.
connect_niagara_pins 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 connect_niagara_pins 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.
