What reorder_niagara_emitter does on Unreal-MCP
AI agents use reorder_niagara_emitter 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 reorder_niagara_emitter is rated Medium
Reordering an emitter changes its position within the Niagara system's list, which is a reversible modification to the data structure. It does not delete or irreversibly destroy anything, nor does it execute code or involve finances. This is a Write operation with medium severity as it modifies VFX system configuration in the Unreal Engine editor.

The rule that runs reorder_niagara_emitter 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 reorder_niagara_emitter, this is the rule to start with:
reorder_niagara_emitter 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 reorder_niagara_emitter call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about reorder_niagara_emitter
Move an emitter to a new position in the system's emitter list. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Unreal-MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Unreal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reorder_niagara_emitter: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Unreal-MCP. Nothing to install.
reorder_niagara_emitter is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reorder_niagara_emitter rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reorder_niagara_emitter. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
reorder_niagara_emitter is provided by the Unreal MCP server (aadeshrao123/unreal-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
