Flatten the entire terrain to a uniform height.

How to control unity_terrain_flatten ↓

AI agents use unity_terrain_flatten 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 modifies terrain data (height map) in a reversible manner through Unity's undo system, making it Write rather than Destructive. However, the blast radius is high because flattening entire terrain could significantly impact game level design and require substantial effort to restore manually, even if technically reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unity_terrain_flatten' and description 'Flatten the entire terrain to a uniform height' indicate the tool modifies terrain geometry data across the entire landscape.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_terrain_flatten 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_terrain_flatten:

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

unity_terrain_flatten 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.

How do I enforce a policy on unity_terrain_flatten? +

Register the Unity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unity_terrain_flatten: 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.

What risk level is unity_terrain_flatten? +

unity_terrain_flatten is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit unity_terrain_flatten? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unity_terrain_flatten 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.

How do I block unity_terrain_flatten completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unity_terrain_flatten. 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.

What MCP server provides unity_terrain_flatten? +

unity_terrain_flatten 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.

Enforce policy on every Unity MCP Server tool call.
