WHAT IT DOES

What set_input_action_properties does on Unreal-MCP

AI agents use set_input_action_properties 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.

RISK

Why set_input_action_properties is rated Medium

This tool modifies input action properties in the Unreal Editor, which is a reversible change. It does not execute gameplay code, delete assets, or trigger external financial operations. The blast radius is medium because misconfigured input actions could break game controls, but the change can be undone by resetting or re-configuring the properties.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_input_action_properties' and description 'Set properties on an Input Action' indicate modification of existing input action configuration in Unreal Engine.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_input_action_properties Rate-limited

set_input_action_properties 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.
