# body_set_collision_layer

Set the collision_layer bitmask on a physics body or area (CollisionObject2D/3D) in the edited scene (undoable). layer is the integer bitmask of layers this object occupies.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "body_set_collision_layer",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why body_set_collision_layer is rated Medium

This tool modifies collision physics properties of game objects in the Godot editor scene, changing which collision layers an object occupies. While this affects game behavior, the modification is explicitly reversible (undoable), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Set the collision_layer bitmask on a physics body or area' and explicitly notes the operation is '(undoable)', indicating it modifies scene state reversibly."

## Use case

AI agents use body_set_collision_layer 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Godot Breakpoint:
