WHAT IT DOES

What list_presets does on Unreal

AI agents call list_presets to retrieve information from Unreal without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_presets is rated Low

This tool performs a simple enumeration/listing operation on Remote Control Presets, which is a read-only data retrieval operation. There are no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only discover what presets exist in the project.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_presets' and description 'List all Remote Control Presets in the project' indicate a query operation that retrieves information without modifying or executing anything.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_presets safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Unreal, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_presets, this is the rule to start with:

list_presets Allowed

list_presets 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": {
    "list_presets": {}
  }
}

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

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