WHAT IT DOES

What set_reference_image_data does on Cocos

AI agents use set_reference_image_data 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_reference_image_data is rated Medium

The tool modifies reference image properties (transform and display attributes) in the Cocos Creator editor. This constitutes a Write operation—it changes data reversibly and can be undone. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt a reference image's state or layout, impacting the editor's usability, but the effects are localized to UI elements and are reversible via undo.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_reference_image_data' and description 'Set reference image transform and display properties' indicate modification of existing reference image data (transform position, rotation, scale, and display settings).

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_reference_image_data Rate-limited

set_reference_image_data 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 set_reference_image_data call is checked against it from then on.
