unity_memory_status

Check Memory Profiler status: whether the com.unity.memoryprofiler package is installed, available commands, and a quick memory summary. Always call this first before other memory profiler commands.

How to control unity_memory_status ↓

AI agents call unity_memory_status 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.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves diagnostic and status information from Unity's Memory Profiler without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is purely informational and intended as a prerequisite check before other profiler commands. No data is altered, no code is executed, and no resources are consumed beyond reading existing state.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Check Memory Profiler status' and 'quick memory summary' — it queries the state of the Memory Profiler package and returns information about available commands and memory data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_memory_status 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_memory_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unity_memory_status": {}
  }
}

unity_memory_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

What does the unity_memory_status tool do? +

Check Memory Profiler status: whether the com.unity.memoryprofiler package is installed, available commands, and a quick memory summary. Always call this first before other memory profiler commands. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unity MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on unity_memory_status? +

Register the Unity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unity_memory_status: 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.

What risk level is unity_memory_status? +

unity_memory_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit unity_memory_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unity_memory_status 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.

How do I block unity_memory_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unity_memory_status. 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.

What MCP server provides unity_memory_status? +

unity_memory_status 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.

Enforce policy on every Unity MCP Server tool call.
