WHAT IT DOES

What set_editor_scale does on Godot

AI agents use set_editor_scale 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.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_editor_scale is rated Medium

This tool modifies the editor's UI scale setting. It changes a configuration value (UI scale factor) in the Godot editor, which is a reversible write operation. It has minimal blast radius as it only affects the visual presentation of the editor interface, not any game data or assets.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_editor_scale Rate-limited

set_editor_scale 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.
