What unity_animation_set_clip_settings does on Unity MCP Server
AI agents use unity_animation_set_clip_settings 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.
Why unity_animation_set_clip_settings is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies animation clip configuration data within a Unity project. While changes are reversible (Write rather than Destructive), misuse could corrupt animation behavior, affect game feel, or cause animation glitches. The blast radius is contained to animation assets rather than project-wide, yielding medium severity.
From the tool's definition Tool modifies animation clip properties (looping, root motion, mirroring, speed, frame rate). The description explicitly states 'Set animation clip settings', indicating data modification.

The rule that runs unity_animation_set_clip_settings 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_animation_set_clip_settings, this is the rule to start with:
unity_animation_set_clip_settings 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unity MCP Server, apply this rule, and every unity_animation_set_clip_settings call is checked against it from then on.

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_animation_set_clip_settings is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unity_animation_set_clip_settings 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.
