WHAT IT DOES

What begin_undo_recording does on Cocos

AI agents use begin_undo_recording to create or update resources in Cocos, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Cocos environment.

RISK

Why begin_undo_recording is rated Medium

This tool starts an undo recording session in the Cocos Creator editor. It initiates a tracking/recording operation that enables future undo functionality. It modifies editor state by starting a recording session, which is a reversible write operation. The blast radius is low as it only begins a recording session rather than making direct changes to assets or scene data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs begin_undo_recording safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Cocos, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For begin_undo_recording, this is the rule to start with:

begin_undo_recording Rate-limited

begin_undo_recording 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.
