What reset_component does on Cocos
AI agents use reset_component 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 reset_component is rated Medium
Resetting a component to default values modifies existing data (overwrites current property values with defaults), but this is generally reversible via undo in an editor context. It does not delete data irreversibly, hence Write rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Reset component to default values
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs reset_component 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 reset_component, this is the rule to start with:
reset_component 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 reset_component call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about reset_component
Reset component to default values. 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 reset_component: 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.
reset_component 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 reset_component 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 reset_component. 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.
reset_component 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.
