AI agents use unity_taglayer_add_tag 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.
Adding a tag creates a new, reversible project configuration setting. This is a write operation with minimal blast radius—tags are metadata organizational elements that do not execute code, modify assets irreversibly, or affect production systems. An AI agent could add redundant or confusing tags, but this causes no harm beyond minor project clutter.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'unity_taglayer_add_tag' and description 'Add a new tag to the project' indicate creation of a new project configuration element. The verb 'Add' combined with 'tag' shows data creation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_taglayer_add_tag 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_taglayer_add_tag:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unity_taglayer_add_tag": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "unity_taglayer_add_tag_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}unity_taglayer_add_tag 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Add a new tag to the project. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Unity MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Unity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unity_taglayer_add_tag: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Unity MCP Server. Nothing to install.
unity_taglayer_add_tag is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unity_taglayer_add_tag rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unity_taglayer_add_tag. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
unity_taglayer_add_tag is provided by the Unity MCP Server MCP server (anklebreaker-studio/unity-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
