## Facts

- Tool: `build_project`
- Server: Cocos (`caravanglory/cocos-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/caravanglory-cocos-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/caravanglory/cocos-mcp-server
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "build_project",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why build_project is rated High

Building a project executes the editor's build pipeline—a complex external operation that compiles code, processes assets, and generates output artifacts. While not destructive (previous builds aren't deleted by default) or financial, it is Execute-category because it runs a defined workflow external to the MCP protocol itself.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'build_project' and description 'Build the project' indicates execution of a build process, which triggers external compilation, linking, and packaging operations whose effects depend on project configuration and build arguments."

## Use case

AI agents invoke build_project to trigger actions in Cocos. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Cocos:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "build_project": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "build_project_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
