Capture the current Scene View as an inline image. Returns base64 PNG that Claude can see directly. Use to visually inspect the scene layout.
AI agents call unity_graphics_scene_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 visual data from the current scene state without side effects. It performs a read operation analogous to taking a screenshot for inspection purposes. There is no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code involved. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an AI agent could repeatedly capture screenshots, which would have negligible impact.
From the tool's definition Tool captures and returns the current Scene View as a base64 PNG image for visual inspection. The description explicitly states it 'Returns base64 PNG that Claude can see directly' and 'Use to visually inspect the scene layout.' No data is modified, deleted,…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_graphics_scene_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_scene_capture:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unity_graphics_scene_capture": {}
}
}unity_graphics_scene_capture is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Capture the current Scene View as an inline image. Returns base64 PNG that Claude can see directly. Use to visually inspect the scene layout. 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_scene_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.
unity_graphics_scene_capture is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unity_graphics_scene_capture 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unity_graphics_scene_capture. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
unity_graphics_scene_capture is provided by the Unity MCP Server MCP server (anklebreaker-studio/unity-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
