WHAT IT DOES

What unity_memory_snapshot does on Unity MCP Server

AI agents call unity_memory_snapshot 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.

RISK

Why unity_memory_snapshot is rated Low

A memory snapshot is a read/diagnostic operation that captures the current state of memory for inspection purposes. It does not modify, delete, or execute any game logic — it simply records a point-in-time view of memory. This is a non-destructive profiling action with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Take a detailed memory snapshot...The snapshot can be inspected in the Memory Profiler window

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unity_memory_snapshot safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Unity MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unity_memory_snapshot, this is the rule to start with:

unity_memory_snapshot Allowed

unity_memory_snapshot is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unity_memory_snapshot": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unity MCP Server, apply this rule, and every unity_memory_snapshot call is checked against it from then on.
