WHAT IT DOES

What unity_shader_get_properties does on Unity MCP Server

AI agents call unity_shader_get_properties 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_shader_get_properties is rated Low

This tool purely retrieves and queries shader metadata with no side effects. It does not modify, create, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent querying shader properties cannot cause harm to the project or system.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states it 'shows' and 'get[s]' shader properties without any modification capabilities. Returns read-only metadata: property name, display name, type, range limits, texture dimension, visibility.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unity_shader_get_properties 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_shader_get_properties, this is the rule to start with:

unity_shader_get_properties Allowed

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