What delete_theme does on Godot
AI agents call delete_theme 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | string | Yes | Theme file path to delete (e.g. res://themes/my_theme.tres) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why delete_theme is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes a theme resource file from the Godot project, which cannot be undone through the tool itself. While the project may have version control or backups, the tool's direct action is destructive. The high severity reflects that deleting theme resources could break UI rendering across the project if those themes are in active use, affecting multiple game systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_theme' combined with description 'Delete a theme resource file from the project' explicitly performs irreversible deletion of a project resource.

The rule that runs delete_theme 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 delete_theme, this is the rule to start with:
delete_theme 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 delete_theme call is checked against it from then on.
