## Facts

- Tool: `save_scene_as`
- 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: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why save_scene_as is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies project files by saving scene data to a new location. While the operation is reversible (files can be deleted or overwritten), it modifies the project structure and state. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money, so Write is the correct category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'save_scene_as' and description 'Save scene as new file' indicate creation of a new file with scene data. This is a write operation that creates reversible data artifacts in the project."

## Use case

AI agents use save_scene_as 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "save_scene_as": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "save_scene_as_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
