WHAT IT DOES

What anim_statemachine_add_state does on Godot Breakpoint

AI agents use anim_statemachine_add_state to create or update resources in Godot Breakpoint, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot Breakpoint environment.

RISK

Why anim_statemachine_add_state is rated Medium

This tool creates a new animation state within Godot's animation system. While it modifies the AnimationTree structure, the operation is explicitly marked as undoable, making it reversible and therefore a Write operation rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium since misconfiguration could break animation workflows, but the change can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Add a state' to an AnimationNodeStateMachine, which creates a new state in the animation tree.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

anim_statemachine_add_state Rate-limited

anim_statemachine_add_state 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.
