Why configure_addon is rated Medium
This tool modifies addon configuration settings reversibly. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money, placing it in Write. Severity is medium because misconfigured addons could affect project behavior or introduce instability, but the blast radius is constrained to addon settings for a specific project.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update configuration settings for an installed addon' — this is a modification operation (Write).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs configure_addon 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 configure_addon, this is the rule to start with:
configure_addon stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every configure_addon call is checked against it from then on.
