WHAT IT DOES

What query_nodes_by_asset_uuid does on Cocos

AI agents call query_nodes_by_asset_uuid 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.

RISK

Why query_nodes_by_asset_uuid is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about which nodes reference a given asset by UUID. It performs a read-only query of the scene graph without modifying state, executing code, or causing side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only discover information about asset relationships within the project.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_nodes_by_asset_uuid' uses 'query' verb and description states 'Find nodes that use specific asset UUID' — a search/lookup operation with no modification or execution.
