What replay_gameplay does on Godot
AI agents invoke replay_gameplay to trigger actions in Godot. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
speed | number | — | Playback speed multiplier (default: 1.0) |
recording_path | string | Yes | Path to the recording file |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why replay_gameplay is rated High
Replaying a gameplay session triggers an active operation in the Godot engine (running/executing a recorded session). It is not simply reading data, nor is it destructive or financial. It falls under Execute as it runs an engine-level operation whose effects depend on the recorded session content.
From the tool's definition "Replay a previously recorded gameplay session" — triggers playback of a recorded session, which constitutes executing an external operation

The rule that runs replay_gameplay 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 replay_gameplay, this is the rule to start with:
replay_gameplay stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 replay_gameplay call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for replay_gameplay: 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.
replay_gameplay is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the replay_gameplay 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 replay_gameplay. 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.
replay_gameplay 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.
