What unity_physics_overlap_sphere does on Unity MCP Server

AI agents call unity_physics_overlap_sphere 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.

Why unity_physics_overlap_sphere is rated Low

This tool performs a spatial query to retrieve collider information within a spherical volume. It is a read-only operation that returns data about physics objects without side effects, modifications, or irreversible actions. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose game object positions/colliders, not cause destructive or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unity_physics_overlap_sphere' and description 'Find all colliders within a sphere. Useful for area-of-effect queries.' indicates a query operation that retrieves data about colliders in a defined spatial region without modifying, executing external…

The rule that runs unity_physics_overlap_sphere 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_physics_overlap_sphere, this is the rule to start with:

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