What rename_niagara_script_parameter does on Unreal-MCP
AI agents use rename_niagara_script_parameter to create or update resources in Unreal-MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Unreal-MCP environment.
Why rename_niagara_script_parameter is rated Medium
This tool modifies Niagara VFX script parameters by renaming them, which changes the asset definition but does not delete data or prevent undo operations. It is a reversible modification (Write category) rather than destructive deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Rename a script parameter in-place" which modifies existing assets. The term "in-place" and "across both asset and edit-copy graphs" indicates the operation updates configuration data reversibly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rename_niagara_script_parameter 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 rename_niagara_script_parameter, this is the rule to start with:
rename_niagara_script_parameter stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 rename_niagara_script_parameter call is checked against it from then on.
