WHAT IT DOES

What set_reference_image_position does on Cocos

AI agents use set_reference_image_position 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_position is rated Medium

The tool performs a state-changing operation on editor data (reference image positioning) but is reversible—users can undo the change or set a different position. This classifies as Write rather than Read (which would be read-only queries) or Execute (which would invoke external operations with unpredictable effects). It is not Destructive because position changes are not irreversible data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_reference_image_position' and description 'Set reference image position' indicate the tool modifies position data of a reference image object in the Cocos Creator editor.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_reference_image_position Rate-limited

set_reference_image_position 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.
