What unity_terrain_scatter_detail does on Unity MCP Server
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.
Why unity_terrain_scatter_detail is rated Medium
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.
Risk signalsBulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

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

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.
