WHAT IT DOES

What get_slot_properties does on Unreal-MCP

AI agents call get_slot_properties 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.

RISK

Why get_slot_properties is rated Low

This tool retrieves properties of UI layout slots in Unreal Engine's editor without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward query operation with minimal blast radius—incorrect invocation would only return wrong data, not cause harm to the project state.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_slot_properties' and description states 'Read layout slot properties' — explicitly a read operation with no side effects. The verb 'Read' and 'get' in the name/description confirm data retrieval only.
