# unity_animation_add_state Add a state to an Animator Controller layer. Can optionally assign an animation clip and set as default state. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `unity_animation_add_state`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-add-state ## Facts - Tool: `unity_animation_add_state` - Server: Unity MCP Server (`anklebreaker-studio/unity-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/AnkleBreaker-Studio/unity-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "unity_animation_add_state", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why unity_animation_add_state is rated Medium This tool creates new states within an Animator Controller, which modifies project data but does not execute code, delete data, or produce financial effects. The action is reversible (states can be removed). While it could potentially affect game behavior if misconfigured by an agent, the impact is limited to animation controller structure. From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'unity_animation_add_state' performs a create/modify operation: 'Add a state to an Animator Controller layer' with optional assignment of animation clips and default state configuration. These are reversible modifications to Unity project assets." ## Use case AI agents use unity_animation_add_state 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
