WHAT IT DOES

What dbg_attach does on Breakpoint

AI agents use dbg_attach 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
`port`	integer	—	Remote debug port
`address`	string	—	Address of the running game (default 127.0.0.1)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why dbg_attach is rated Medium

An AI agent can call dbg_attach faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Breakpoint by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs dbg_attach 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 dbg_attach, this is the rule to start with:

dbg_attach Rate-limited

dbg_attach 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 dbg_attach call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about dbg_attach

What does the dbg_attach tool do? +

Attach to an already-running Godot debug session. Refuses if the adapter rejects the attach — Godot answers 'not_running' when nothing is running — instead of reporting state 'running' for a session that never started. 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.

What parameters does dbg_attach accept? +

dbg_attach accepts 2 parameters: port, address. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on dbg_attach? +

Register the Breakpoint MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dbg_attach: 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.

What risk level is dbg_attach? +

dbg_attach is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit dbg_attach? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the dbg_attach 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.

How do I block dbg_attach completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for dbg_attach. 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.

What MCP server provides dbg_attach? +

dbg_attach 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.
