WHAT IT DOES

What timer_add does on Godot

AI agents use timer_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 timer_add is rated Medium

The 'add' verb strongly suggests a Write operation that creates or modifies Godot scene/object state (likely adding a Timer node to a scene). This is reversible (timers can be removed), so it does not qualify as Destructive. Severity is medium because misuse could cause unwanted timer behavior affecting game logic, but the blast radius is limited to a single game scene's timing behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'timer_add' suggests creating or adding a timer object/resource in Godot. The verb 'add' indicates a creation/modification action. Description is empty, limiting evidence.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs timer_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 timer_add, this is the rule to start with:

timer_add Rate-limited

timer_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.
