## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why unity_terrain_set_settings is rated Medium

This tool modifies terrain settings in a Unity scene, which are configuration changes that can be undone or reverted (Write category). While it affects game rendering and physics behavior, the changes are not destructive and do not execute arbitrary code or delete data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'set_settings' and description states 'Modify terrain rendering and physics settings like pixel error, base map distance, detail density, etc.' — these are reversible configuration changes to terrain properties."

## Use case

AI agents use unity_terrain_set_settings 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
