WHAT IT DOES

What reset_editor_layout does on Godot

AI agents call reset_editor_layout 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.

RISK

Why reset_editor_layout is rated Critical

Resetting to factory defaults irreversibly overwrites the current editor layout configuration. Any custom layout settings the user has configured will be lost and cannot be recovered, making this a destructive operation with high blast radius for users relying on customized editor setups.

reset_editor_layout Hidden

reset_editor_layout is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
