## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "remove_niagara_renderer",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why remove_niagara_renderer is rated Critical

Removing a renderer from a Niagara emitter deletes that renderer configuration from the emitter. This is an irreversible destructive action within the Unreal Engine editor context. The severity is high because misuse could corrupt or break VFX emitters/systems that depend on the renderer, requiring significant manual effort to restore.

From the tool's own definition: "'Remove a renderer from an emitter by index' — permanently removes a renderer component from a Niagara emitter, which is a destructive operation that cannot be trivially undone."

## Use case

AI agents call remove_niagara_renderer to permanently remove resources in Unreal-MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Unreal-MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_niagara_renderer"
  ]
}
```
