WHAT IT DOES

What unity_amplify_create_from_template does on Unity MCP Server

AI agents use unity_amplify_create_from_template to create or update resources in Unity MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Unity MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why unity_amplify_create_from_template is rated Medium

This tool creates new shader files in a Unity project, which is a reversible write operation. It doesn't execute arbitrary code or delete data, but it does modify the project structure by adding new assets. The severity is medium because while shader creation is generally safe and reversible, it could impact project state and any AI misuse (e.g., creating many unnecessary shaders) would have moderate blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool description states: 'Create a new Amplify shader from a predefined template' and 'The shader file is created' — these are clear create/write operations that modify the project state by adding new files.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unity_amplify_create_from_template safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Unity MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unity_amplify_create_from_template, this is the rule to start with:

unity_amplify_create_from_template Rate-limited

unity_amplify_create_from_template 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.
