WHAT IT DOES

What soft_reload_scene does on Cocos

AI agents invoke soft_reload_scene to trigger actions in Cocos. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why soft_reload_scene is rated High

Reloading the scene triggers an external operation in the Cocos Creator editor that re-initializes the current scene state. This is not a simple read, nor does it permanently delete data, but it executes an editor-level operation that can discard unsaved changes and affect the running state of the scene.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

soft_reload_scene Rate-limited

soft_reload_scene stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
