What runtime_get_property does on Breakpoint
AI agents call runtime_get_property to retrieve information from Breakpoint without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | string | Yes | |
peer | string | — | Target a headless peer by id (from runtime_spawn_peers). Omit to address the default running game. |
property | string | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why runtime_get_property is rated Low
This tool retrieves property values from scene nodes without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a simple read operation on live runtime state. The low severity reflects that property reads have minimal blast radius—exposing node properties does not cause damage, though it may reveal information about scene structure or values.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Read a property from a live node" with path-based access to scene data. The verb "Read" and the retrieval nature of property access with no modification capabilities.

The rule that runs runtime_get_property 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 runtime_get_property, this is the rule to start with:
runtime_get_property is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 runtime_get_property call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about runtime_get_property
Read a property from a live node (path relative to the current scene; '/root/...' absolute allowed). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Breakpoint MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
runtime_get_property accepts 3 parameters: path, peer, property. Required: path, property. 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 runtime_get_property: 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.
runtime_get_property is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the runtime_get_property 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 runtime_get_property. 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.
runtime_get_property 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.
