What find_assets does on Unreal-MCP
AI agents call find_assets 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_assets is rated Low
Asset search and discovery are read-only operations that query the asset database without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. In the Unreal Engine context, finding/locating assets is a non-destructive lookup. Confidence is slightly reduced due to the empty description, but the function name strongly indicates a search/query operation typical of Read category tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_assets' suggests asset discovery/search functionality. The description is empty, but the verb 'find' combined with 'assets' (a query operation in game engine contexts) indicates retrieval without side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs find_assets 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_assets, this is the rule to start with:
find_assets is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 find_assets call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about find_assets
find_assets is a read tool on the Unreal MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unreal-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Unreal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_assets: 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.
find_assets is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_assets 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 find_assets. 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.
find_assets 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.
