## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "unity_shader_get_properties",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Unity MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unity_shader_get_properties": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
