## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why unity_animation_assign_controller is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data (adds an Animator component and assigns a controller) within the Unity scene. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial harm. The modification is reversible—the component can be removed or the controller reassigned. While it affects scene structure, this is a standard Write operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Assign[s] an Animator Controller to a GameObject (adds Animator component if needed)'. This modifies scene state by adding or updating components on GameObjects, which is a reversible change to the Unity project."

## Use case

AI agents use unity_animation_assign_controller 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)
