What unity_terrain_flatten does on Unity MCP Server
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.
Why unity_terrain_flatten is rated Medium
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.

The rule that runs unity_terrain_flatten 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_terrain_flatten, this is the rule to start with:
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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unity MCP Server, apply this rule, and every unity_terrain_flatten call is checked against it from then on.
