| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | Yes | Preset display name |
confirm | boolean | — | Auto-approve this destructive action (skip the confirmation prompt) |
platform | string | Yes | Export platform name as shown in the editor |
runnable | boolean | — | Mark the preset runnable (default true) |
export_path | string | — | Default export output path |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why project_add_export_preset is rated Medium
The tool creates or modifies configuration data by appending a new export preset entry. This is a Write operation (reversible modification), not Destructive (irreversible deletion/corruption). Severity is medium because misconfiguration of export presets could disrupt build workflows, but the change is recoverable. The gating by confirmation lowers risk slightly but doesn't change the category.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Append[s] an export preset to res://export_presets.cfg' — a modification operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs project_add_export_preset 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 project_add_export_preset, this is the rule to start with:
project_add_export_preset 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 project_add_export_preset call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about project_add_export_preset

Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
project_add_export_preset accepts 5 parameters: name, confirm, platform, runnable, export_path. Required: name, platform. 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 project_add_export_preset: 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.
project_add_export_preset 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 project_add_export_preset 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 project_add_export_preset. 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.
project_add_export_preset 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.
