What clear_output does on Godot
AI agents call clear_output to permanently remove resources in Godot, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why clear_output is rated Critical
Clearing the output log irreversibly removes existing log data that cannot be recovered. While the blast radius is moderate (only log data is lost, not project assets), the action is non-reversible, placing it in the Destructive category.

The rule that runs clear_output safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Godot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For clear_output, this is the rule to start with:
clear_output is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every clear_output call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about clear_output
Clear the editor output log. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_output: 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. Nothing to install.
clear_output is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear_output 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 clear_output. 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.
clear_output is provided by the Godot MCP server (@keeveeg/godot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
