unity_editorprefs_delete

THE RISK

Critical Risk

EditorPrefs stores configuration and state data for the Unity Editor. Deleting keys cannot be undone programmatically and will remove editor settings/preferences. This is irreversible data loss, placing it in the Destructive category rather than Write.

From the tool's definition The tool name is 'unity_editorprefs_delete' and description states it will 'Delete an EditorPrefs key.' The verb 'Delete' and action of removing a key from EditorPrefs (Unity's persistent editor-level preferences storage) is irreversible data destruction.

HOW TO CONTROL UNITY_EDITORPREFS_DELETE

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_editorprefs_delete:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "unity_editorprefs_delete"
  ]
}

unity_editorprefs_delete disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

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