WHAT IT DOES

What open_preferences_settings does on Cocos

AI agents invoke open_preferences_settings 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.

RISK

Why open_preferences_settings is rated High

Opening a settings panel triggers a UI operation in the editor — it's not a passive read but an action that causes the editor to display/open a panel. No data is modified or destroyed, but it executes an editor action. Severity is low as it only opens a UI panel with no direct data impact.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs open_preferences_settings 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_preferences_settings, this is the rule to start with:

open_preferences_settings Rate-limited

open_preferences_settings stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
