Save the current scene.

How to control unity_scene_save ↓

AI agents use unity_scene_save 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 or modifies data (scene files) reversibly—saves can be undone by reloading from version control or prior backups, and unsaved changes can be discarded. While it writes project state, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. It fits the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unity_scene_save' and description 'Save the current scene' indicates the tool modifies and persists scene data in the Unity Editor.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_scene_save 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_scene_save:

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

unity_scene_save 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.

  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.
