WHAT IT DOES

What set_anchor_preset does on Godot

AI agents use set_anchor_preset to create or update resources in Godot, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot environment.

`path`	string	Yes	Control node path
`preset`	string	Yes	Anchor preset name (e.g. 'full_rect', 'center', 'top_left')

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_anchor_preset is rated Medium

This tool modifies UI control node properties (anchor preset) in a Godot scene, which is a reversible configuration change. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or affect financial/external systems. The impact is limited to the visual layout configuration of a single UI control element. Classified as Write with low severity due to the contained scope and reversible nature of layout adjustments.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_anchor_preset' and description 'Set anchor preset on a Control node' indicate modification of UI layout properties. 'Set' is a write operation that modifies node configuration.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_anchor_preset 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 set_anchor_preset, this is the rule to start with:

set_anchor_preset Rate-limited

set_anchor_preset stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
