Create a light probe group in the scene.

How to control unity_lighting_create_light_probe_group ↓

AI agents use unity_lighting_create_light_probe_group 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

This tool creates a new light probe group asset in the scene, which is a reversible Write operation. It modifies the scene state by adding a new object, but the action can be undone (standard undo/redo in Unity). The severity is medium because incorrect light probe placement could impact rendering performance or visual quality across a scene, but the effect is limited to a single asset type and is easily reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unity_lighting_create_light_probe_group' and description 'Create a light probe group in the scene' indicate creation of a new game object/asset within a Unity scene.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_lighting_create_light_probe_group 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_lighting_create_light_probe_group:

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

unity_lighting_create_light_probe_group 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.
