find_actors

What find_actors does on Unreal-MCP

AI agents call find_actors to retrieve information from Unreal-MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why find_actors is rated Low

The 'find' verb is characteristic of Read operations that search or list data. In Unreal Engine context, 'find_actors' would query the scene for actor objects and return results—a retrieval operation with no side effects. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but the semantic meaning of the name is clear and consistent with Read-category tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_actors' indicates a search/query operation. The description is empty, but the naming convention and context within Unreal Engine (where actors are game objects) strongly suggest this retrieves or queries actor data without modifying state.

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

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "find_actors": {}
  }
}
