Randomly scatter detail/grass across the entire terrain or a region.
AI agents use unity_terrain_scatter_detail 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.
This tool modifies scene state by adding visual detail layers to terrain, which is a Write operation (creates/modifies data). It is not Destructive because scattering details is reversible (details can be removed or the operation undone in the editor). It is not Execute because it performs a deterministic terrain modification rather than running arbitrary code or external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'scatter[s] detail/grass across the entire terrain or a region' — this modifies terrain data by adding visual elements.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_terrain_scatter_detail 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_scatter_detail:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unity_terrain_scatter_detail": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "unity_terrain_scatter_detail_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}unity_terrain_scatter_detail 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.

Randomly scatter detail/grass across the entire terrain or a region. 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_terrain_scatter_detail: 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_terrain_scatter_detail 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_terrain_scatter_detail 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_terrain_scatter_detail. 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_terrain_scatter_detail 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.
