## Facts

- Tool: `animation_create`
- Server: Godot (`chanceflow/godot-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/chanceflow-godot-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/ChanceFlow/godot-mcp
- 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": "animation_create",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why animation_create is rated Medium

Creating animations modifies project state reversibly—new animations can be deleted or replaced. This is a Write operation rather than Read (no query), Execute (no arbitrary code or external command), or Destructive (reversible). Severity is medium because unintended animation creation could corrupt project workflows, but the blast radius is limited to animation assets and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'animation_create' indicates creation of new animation data within Godot. Sibling tools like 'animation_add_track', 'animation_set_keyframe', and 'animation_list' confirm this is part of the animation management subsystem."

## Use case

AI agents use animation_create to create or update resources in Godot, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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