What get_input_action does on Unreal-MCP
AI agents call get_input_action 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 get_input_action is rated Low
This tool retrieves configuration data about an Input Action in Unreal Engine 5. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be unauthorized information disclosure about input mappings, which is low severity in a development environment.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_input_action' and description 'Read all properties, triggers, and modifiers of an Input Action' explicitly indicate a read operation that retrieves data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_input_action 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 get_input_action, this is the rule to start with:
get_input_action 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 get_input_action call is checked against it from then on.
