## Facts

- Tool: `node_duplicate`
- 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": "node_duplicate",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why node_duplicate is rated Medium

Node duplication in Godot creates new scene instances or node copies, modifying the project structure reversibly. While it modifies data (the scene hierarchy), it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or trigger financial transactions. This places it in the Write category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'node_duplicate' combined with Godot game engine context indicates it creates a copy of a scene node. Within Godot's editor/project management, this is a reversible creation operation."

## Use case

AI agents use node_duplicate 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": {
    "node_duplicate": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "node_duplicate_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
