## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "scene_get_tree",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why scene_get_tree is rated Low

The 'get' verb and '_tree' suffix suggest this tool queries/retrieves the hierarchical scene structure from the Godot editor without modifying it. No side effects or destructive operations are implied. Empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention and server context (Godot scene management) strongly indicate a read-only operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'scene_get_tree' indicates retrieval of scene tree data; follows naming pattern of sibling tools like 'animation_get_info' and 'animation_list' which are read operations. Description is empty, limiting full certainty."

## Use case

AI agents call scene_get_tree 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Godot:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "scene_get_tree": {}
  }
}
```
