WHAT IT DOES

What set_animation_keyframe does on Godot

AI agents use set_animation_keyframe 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`time`	number	Yes	Keyframe time in seconds
`value`	object	—	Keyframe value
`library`	string	—	Animation library name (empty for default)
`animation`	string	Yes	Animation name
`player_path`	string	Yes	AnimationPlayer node path
`track_index`	integer	Yes	Track index

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_animation_keyframe is rated Medium

This tool modifies animation tracks by setting keyframes, which is a reversible write operation. It creates or updates animation data rather than executing arbitrary code or deleting data. The severity is medium because misuse could corrupt animation sequences or timings, but changes can be undone through standard editing workflows.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_animation_keyframe' and description 'Set a keyframe in an animation track' indicate creation/modification of animation data within a Godot project.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_animation_keyframe Rate-limited

set_animation_keyframe 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.

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every set_animation_keyframe call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on set_animation_keyframe? +

Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_animation_keyframe: 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.

What risk level is set_animation_keyframe? +

Can I rate-limit set_animation_keyframe? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_animation_keyframe 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.

How do I block set_animation_keyframe completely? +
