- 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: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

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

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

## Why get_asset_dependencies is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation to fetch and return asset dependency information. It has no side effects on the Cocos Creator editor state, assets, or project. The action is purely informational retrieval, making it a Read category tool with low severity since misuse would only result in viewing dependency data without causing harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_asset_dependencies' and description 'Get asset dependency tree' indicate a query operation that retrieves and displays dependency information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything."

## Use case

AI agents call get_asset_dependencies to retrieve information from Cocos without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_asset_dependencies": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
