## Facts

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

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## 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": {
    "timer_add": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "timer_add_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
