WHAT IT DOES

What set_preferences_config does on Cocos

AI agents use set_preferences_config 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.

RISK

Why set_preferences_config is rated Medium

This tool modifies editor preferences/configuration, which is a reversible write operation. While it affects editor state, preferences can typically be reverted or changed again, distinguishing it from destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_preferences_config' and description 'Set preferences configuration' indicate modification of configuration settings in the Cocos Creator editor. The verb 'set' indicates a write operation that modifies state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_preferences_config Rate-limited

set_preferences_config 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.
