What project_list does on Godot
AI agents call project_list to retrieve information from Godot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why project_list is rated Low
This tool performs a directory listing operation to enumerate existing Godot projects. It is purely informational with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. This aligns with the 'Read' category for tools that retrieve or query data with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'project_list' and description 'List Godot projects in a directory' indicate a query operation that retrieves information without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs project_list 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 project_list, this is the rule to start with:
project_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every project_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about project_list
List Godot projects in a directory. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_list: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Godot. Nothing to install.
project_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project_list rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for project_list. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
project_list is provided by the Godot MCP server (chanceflow/godot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
