WHAT IT DOES

What light_add does on Godot

AI agents use light_add 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.

RISK

Why light_add is rated Medium

The tool name 'light_add' indicates creation of a new light entity in the Godot editor/project. This is a reversible modification to scene state (Write category), not a destructive deletion or code execution. Severity is medium because unauthorized scene modifications could corrupt projects or cause unintended visual/gameplay changes, but the effect is contained to lighting properties and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'light_add' suggests creating/adding a light object to a Godot scene. The 'add' verb indicates a reversible write operation. Description is empty, limiting confidence.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs light_add safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Godot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For light_add, this is the rule to start with:

light_add Rate-limited

light_add 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.
