WHAT IT DOES

What create_niagara_scratch_pad_module does on Unreal-MCP

AI agents use create_niagara_scratch_pad_module 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.

RISK

Why create_niagara_scratch_pad_module is rated Medium

This tool creates a new Niagara scratch pad module, which is a reversible write operation that modifies the VFX project state. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The medium severity reflects that an AI agent misusing this could create many unwanted VFX modules, cluttering the project, but changes are undoable.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_niagara_scratch_pad_module' indicates creation of a new module in Niagara VFX system. The 'create_' prefix signals data creation. Description is empty, limiting evidence specificity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_niagara_scratch_pad_module Rate-limited

create_niagara_scratch_pad_module 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.
