Capture the Game View camera as an inline image. Returns base64 PNG that Claude can see directly. Use to see what the player sees.
AI agents call unity_graphics_game_capture to retrieve information from Unity MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a visual representation of the current game view state and converts it to a base64-encoded PNG for display. It has no side effects, does not modify project state, execute code, or affect assets. The stated purpose is observation only ('Use to see what the player sees'). This is a pure read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'unity_graphics_game_capture' and description states it 'Capture[s] the Game View camera as an inline image' and 'Returns base64 PNG that Claude can see directly'.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_graphics_game_capture 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_graphics_game_capture:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unity_graphics_game_capture": {}
}
}unity_graphics_game_capture is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Capture the Game View camera as an inline image. Returns base64 PNG that Claude can see directly. Use to see what the player sees. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unity MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Unity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unity_graphics_game_capture: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. 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.
