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

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

## Why particles_set_emitting is rated Medium

This tool modifies scene state reversibly (particles emitting property can be toggled on/off and undone), making it a Write operation rather than Execute or Destructive. The 'undoable' qualifier confirms reversibility. Severity is medium because while an agent could spam particle emission to degrade performance or confuse scene state, the change is non-destructive and easily recoverable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it toggles a property ('Toggle whether a GPUParticles2D/3D is emitting') and explicitly notes '(undoable)', indicating the change is reversible through undo functionality."

## Use case

AI agents use particles_set_emitting 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:
