WHAT IT DOES

What ui_add_control does on Godot

AI agents use ui_add_control 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 ui_add_control is rated Medium

The 'add_' prefix indicates this tool creates or modifies UI state within the Godot engine by adding a control node. This is a Write operation because it creates new UI elements reversibly (they can be removed/undone). Severity is medium because misuse could create unwanted UI elements, cluttering or breaking the scene, but effects are not irreversible or financially harmful.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ui_add_control' indicates creation of a UI control element. The prefix 'add_' suggests a reversible creation operation. Description is empty, limiting certainty.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ui_add_control Rate-limited

ui_add_control 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.
