What project_search does on Godot Breakpoint
AI agents call project_search 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.
Why project_search is rated Low
This is a search/query tool with no side effects. It retrieves information from the project but does not create, modify, execute code, delete data, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal - an attacker could discover sensitive information within the project, but cannot alter state or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Full-text (or regex) search across the project' - a read-only operation that retrieves and queries data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs project_search 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 project_search, this is the rule to start with:
project_search 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 project_search call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about project_search
Full-text (or regex) search across the project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot Breakpoint MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot Breakpoint MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_search: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Godot Breakpoint. Nothing to install.
project_search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project_search rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for project_search. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
project_search is provided by the Godot Breakpoint MCP server (jlivingston-Cipher/godot-breakpoint-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
