unity_asmdef_update_settings

Update settings on an assembly definition: rootNamespace, allowUnsafeCode, autoReferenced, noEngineReferences, defineConstraints, etc. Only supply the properties you want to change.

How to control unity_asmdef_update_settings ↓

AI agents use unity_asmdef_update_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.

Medium Risk

The tool creates or modifies assembly definition settings in a Unity project. These changes are reversible (settings can be updated again or reverted), making this a Write operation rather than Destructive or Execute.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unity_asmdef_update_settings' and description indicate it 'Update settings on an assembly definition' with properties like rootNamespace, allowUnsafeCode, autoReferenced, noEngineReferences, defineConstraints.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_asmdef_update_settings 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_asmdef_update_settings:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unity_asmdef_update_settings": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "unity_asmdef_update_settings_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

unity_asmdef_update_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.

  1. Create a free account and register Unity MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
