WHAT IT DOES

What runtime_screenshot does on Godot Breakpoint

AI agents call runtime_screenshot 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.

RISK

Why runtime_screenshot is rated Low

This tool only reads and captures the current visual state of the running Godot game without altering any data, code, or game logic. It is a passive observation mechanism analogous to a screenshot function, which is clearly a Read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Capture the current game frame as a PNG and return it as image content' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects on game state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs runtime_screenshot 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 runtime_screenshot, this is the rule to start with:

runtime_screenshot Allowed

runtime_screenshot is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "runtime_screenshot": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot Breakpoint, apply this rule, and every runtime_screenshot call is checked against it from then on.
