WHAT IT DOES

What health_check does on Unreal-MCP

AI agents call health_check 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 health_check is rated Low

This is a passive diagnostic query that tests connectivity and responsiveness of the Unreal Engine editor bridge. It does not modify, execute, delete, or create any assets or data. It is a read-only operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'health_check' and description 'Check if the UE5 editor bridge is running and responsive' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

health_check Allowed

health_check is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unreal-MCP, apply this rule, and every health_check call is checked against it from then on.
