Capture a screenshot of the Scene View camera. Returns immediately with the saved file path.
AI agents call unity_screenshot_scene 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.
This tool captures and returns visual information (a screenshot) from the Scene View. It has no side effects on the Unity project, game state, assets, or configuration. Taking a screenshot is a read-only operation analogous to querying or fetching data. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'unity_screenshot_scene' and description 'Capture a screenshot of the Scene View camera. Returns immediately with the saved file path.' indicate a retrieval operation that captures visual data without modifying any state.

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_screenshot_scene:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unity_screenshot_scene": {}
}
}unity_screenshot_scene is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
