What open_build_panel does on Cocos
AI agents call open_build_panel 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.
Why open_build_panel is rated Low
Opening a UI panel in the editor is a read/view operation with no data modification or side effects. It merely makes the build panel visible in the editor interface.

The rule that runs open_build_panel 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 open_build_panel, this is the rule to start with:
open_build_panel 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 Cocos, apply this rule, and every open_build_panel call is checked against it from then on.
