WHAT IT DOES

What project_update_uids does on Godot

AI agents use project_update_uids 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 project_update_uids is rated Medium

This tool performs a Write operation: it modifies project resources by resaving them with updated UID references. While the operation affects multiple resources (higher blast radius if misused by an agent that corrupts UIDs), it is not destructive because resaving is reversible and the intent is corrective rather than destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update UID references in a Godot project by resaving resources' — this modifies existing project resources in place. The verb 'update' and 'resaving' indicate reversible modifications to data structures within the project.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs project_update_uids 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_update_uids, this is the rule to start with:

project_update_uids Rate-limited

project_update_uids 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.
