WHAT IT DOES

What set_niagara_curve does on Unreal-MCP

AI agents use set_niagara_curve 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_niagara_curve is rated Medium

The tool modifies Niagara particle system curves, which are reversible changes to VFX parameters in the Unreal Engine editor. This is a Write operation (not Destructive, as curve changes can be undone). Severity is high because an AI agent could misconfigure visual effects in ways that corrupt project state or require significant rework.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_niagara_curve' indicates modification of Niagara VFX curve parameters. Server description confirms Niagara VFX control is part of the 280 commands. The 'set_' prefix indicates a write/modification operation rather than read-only access.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_niagara_curve Rate-limited

set_niagara_curve 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.
