## Facts

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

## Why editor_launch is rated High

Launching the Godot editor is an Execute action because it triggers an external operation (starting the editor process). While not inherently destructive, an AI agent with access to this tool could launch the editor on a project it modifies, potentially causing unintended side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Launch the Godot editor for a specific project' — this is launching an external application/process, which is execution of a program whose effects depend on the project argument and editor state."

## Use case

AI agents invoke editor_launch to trigger actions in Godot. 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.

## 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": {
    "editor_launch": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "editor_launch_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
