What anim_list does on Godot Breakpoint
AI agents call anim_list to retrieve information from Godot Breakpoint without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why anim_list is rated Low
This tool performs a query/list operation that retrieves data about animations without any side effects or modifications. The explicit 'Read-only' designation confirms it has no destructive, write, or execute capabilities. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent listing animations cannot cause harm beyond information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List all animations in an AnimationPlayer across its libraries' and 'Read-only.' The operation retrieves animation metadata (length, loop mode, track count) without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs anim_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Godot Breakpoint, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For anim_list, this is the rule to start with:
anim_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot Breakpoint, apply this rule, and every anim_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about anim_list
List all animations in an AnimationPlayer across its libraries, with length, loop mode, and track count. Read-only. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot Breakpoint MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot Breakpoint MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for anim_list: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Godot Breakpoint. Nothing to install.
anim_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the anim_list rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for anim_list. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
anim_list is provided by the Godot Breakpoint MCP server (jlivingston-Cipher/godot-breakpoint-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
