## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "find_nodes_by_script",
    "arguments": {
      "script_path": "<script_path>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why find_nodes_by_script is rated Low

The tool performs a read-only search operation to locate nodes matching a criteria (script usage). It queries existing game data and returns results with no side effects, modifications, or code execution. This fits the Read category definition of retrieving or querying data without side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description: 'Find all nodes in the game that use a specific script' - this is a query/search operation that retrieves information about nodes without modifying game state or executing code."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Godot:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "find_nodes_by_script": {}
  }
}
```
