- Server: Godot Breakpoint (`jlivingston-Cipher/godot-breakpoint-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/godot-breakpoint-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/jlivingston-Cipher/godot-breakpoint-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

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

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

## Why filesystem_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries the structure of the project filesystem without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal security risk, making it a straightforward Read category classification with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool explicitly described as 'List the subdirectories and files of a directory in the project filesystem' and marked 'Read-only.' The name 'filesystem_list' and action of listing directory contents with no modification capability confirm retrieval-only…"

## Use case

AI agents call filesystem_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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "filesystem_list": {}
  }
}
```
