## Why unity_editor_ping is rated Low

This tool only queries the status of the Unity Editor bridge and returns informational data (version, project name, connection status). It has no side effects and is purely a health-check/read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Check if the Unity Editor bridge is running and responsive. Returns editor version, project name, and connection status."

## Use case

AI agents call unity_editor_ping to retrieve information from Unity MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Unity MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unity_editor_ping": {}
  }
}
```
