What change_gizmo_coordinate does on Cocos
AI agents use change_gizmo_coordinate 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.
Why change_gizmo_coordinate is rated Medium
Changing the gizmo coordinate system modifies editor display/interaction settings (local vs world coordinates). This is a reversible editor state change with minimal blast radius, categorized as Write.

The rule that runs change_gizmo_coordinate 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 change_gizmo_coordinate, this is the rule to start with:
change_gizmo_coordinate 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 Cocos, apply this rule, and every change_gizmo_coordinate call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about change_gizmo_coordinate
Change coordinate system. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Cocos MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Cocos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for change_gizmo_coordinate: 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 Cocos. Nothing to install.
change_gizmo_coordinate 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 change_gizmo_coordinate 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 change_gizmo_coordinate. 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.
change_gizmo_coordinate is provided by the Cocos MCP server (caravanglory/cocos-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
