WHAT IT DOES

What list_niagara_node_types does on Unreal-MCP

RISK

Why list_niagara_node_types is rated Low

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_niagara_node_types' indicates retrieval/enumeration of available Niagara node types; the 'list' verb is characteristic of Read operations. Description is empty, reducing confidence slightly.
