# find_nodes_by_type Find all nodes of a specific type in the scene Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `find_nodes_by_type`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/find-nodes-by-type ## Facts - Tool: `find_nodes_by_type` - Server: Godot (`@keeveeg/godot-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @keeveeg/godot-mcp` - Homepage: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@keeveeg/godot-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 1 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `type_name` | string | yes | Node type name (e.g. 'Sprite2D', 'CharacterBody3D') | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "find_nodes_by_type", "arguments": { "type_name": "" } } } ``` ## Why find_nodes_by_type is rated Low This tool searches and lists nodes matching a type criterion. It has no side effects, performs no modifications, and poses no irreversible risk. The action is informational only. Severity is low because misuse (e.g., querying nodes to understand scene structure) carries minimal blast radius in a game development context. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Find all nodes of a specific type in the scene' — a query operation that retrieves information without modifying state." ## Use case AI agents call find_nodes_by_type 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_type": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Godot (320) - `clear_editor_log` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/clear-editor-log.md - `clear_editor_selection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/clear-editor-selection.md - `clear_output` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/clear-output.md - `delete_export_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-export-preset.md - `delete_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-node.md - `delete_particles` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-particles.md - `delete_resource` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-resource.md - `delete_save_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-save-file.md - `delete_scene` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-scene.md - `delete_script` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-script.md - `delete_shader` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-shader.md - `delete_theme` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/delete-theme.md - `remove_animation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-animation.md - `remove_audio_bus` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-audio-bus.md - `remove_audio_player` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-audio-player.md - `remove_autoload` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-autoload.md - `remove_autoload_config` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-autoload-config.md - `remove_input_action` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-input-action.md - `remove_navigation_agent` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-navigation-agent.md - `remove_navigation_link` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-navigation-link.md - `remove_navigation_region` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/remove-navigation-region.md - `reset_editor_layout` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/reset-editor-layout.md - `tilemap_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/tilemap-clear.md - `uninstall_addon` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/uninstall-addon.md - `bake_navigation_mesh` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/bake-navigation-mesh.md - `capture_frames` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/capture-frames.md - `click_button_by_text` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/click-button-by-text.md - `continue_execution` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/continue-execution.md - `evaluate_expression` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/evaluate-expression.md - `execute_editor_script` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/execute-editor-script.md - …and 290 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
