Part of the Unreal Engine MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

unreal-engine-mcp-server Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use animation_physics to create or modify resources in Unreal Engine. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call animation_physics repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Unreal Engine.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the animation_physics tool do? +

Create animation blueprints, blend spaces, montages, state machines, Control Rig, IK rigs, ragdolls, and vehicle physics.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Unreal Engine MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on animation_physics? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for animation_physics. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Unreal Engine MCP server.

What risk level is animation_physics? +

animation_physics is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit animation_physics? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the animation_physics rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block animation_physics completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for animation_physics. 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.

What MCP server provides animation_physics? +

animation_physics is provided by the Unreal Engine MCP server (unreal-engine-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
