What anim_set_loop does on Breakpoint
AI agents use anim_set_loop to create or update resources in Breakpoint, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Breakpoint environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | Yes | Loop mode: none, linear, or pingpong |
name | string | Yes | Animation name |
library | string | — | Animation library name (default "") |
player_path | string | Yes | AnimationPlayer node path |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why anim_set_loop is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies animation configuration data (loop mode) in a reversible manner. It does not execute external code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The 'undoable' annotation demonstrates the modification can be reversed, placing it in the Write category rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Set an Animation's loop mode (undoable)', indicating it modifies animation properties. The term 'undoable' confirms this is a reversible write operation, not a destructive action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs anim_set_loop safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Breakpoint, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For anim_set_loop, this is the rule to start with:
anim_set_loop 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 Breakpoint, apply this rule, and every anim_set_loop call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about anim_set_loop
Set an Animation's loop mode (undoable). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Breakpoint MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
anim_set_loop accepts 4 parameters: mode, name, library, player_path. Required: mode, name, player_path. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Breakpoint MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for anim_set_loop: 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 Breakpoint. Nothing to install.
anim_set_loop 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 anim_set_loop 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 anim_set_loop. 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.
anim_set_loop is provided by the Breakpoint MCP server (breakpoint-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
