List all available Amplify Shader Editor node types by reflecting over the ASE assembly. Returns type names, categories, and descriptions. Requires Amplify to be installed.
AI agents call unity_amplify_get_node_types to retrieve information from Unity MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about available node types in the Amplify Shader Editor. It performs introspection/reflection over an assembly to provide informational output. No data is modified, created, deleted, or executed. The operation is read-only and has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—it simply returns static type information.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_node_types' and description states 'List all available Amplify Shader Editor node types' and 'Returns type names, categories, and descriptions.' This is purely a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_amplify_get_node_types gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Unity MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for unity_amplify_get_node_types:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unity_amplify_get_node_types": {}
}
}unity_amplify_get_node_types is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all available Amplify Shader Editor node types by reflecting over the ASE assembly. Returns type names, categories, and descriptions. Requires Amplify to be installed. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unity MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Unity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unity_amplify_get_node_types: 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 Unity MCP Server. Nothing to install.
unity_amplify_get_node_types is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unity_amplify_get_node_types 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 unity_amplify_get_node_types. 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.
unity_amplify_get_node_types is provided by the Unity MCP Server MCP server (anklebreaker-studio/unity-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
