Why node_get_property is rated Low
This is a data retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries node properties and returns them, fitting the Read category definition of retrieves or queries data. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose information already accessible within the Godot editor context, not cause damage or unwanted state changes.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs node_get_property 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 node_get_property, this is the rule to start with:
node_get_property 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 node_get_property call is checked against it from then on.
