Set the default gravity vector for the physics world

What set_gravity does on Godot
AI agents use set_gravity 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
x | number | Yes | Gravity X component |
y | number | Yes | Gravity Y component |
z | number | — | Gravity Z component (for 3D, default 0) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why set_gravity is rated Medium
This tool modifies physics world settings (gravity vector), which affects all physics simulations in the game environment. It is reversible (gravity can be changed back) and has no financial or destructive aspects. However, it has moderate severity because misconfiguring gravity could cause unexpected game behavior, physics instability, or break gameplay mechanics.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'set_gravity' with description 'Set the default gravity vector for the physics world' — modifies a global physics configuration parameter.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_gravity 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_gravity, this is the rule to start with:
set_gravity 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every set_gravity call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about set_gravity
Set the default gravity vector for the physics world. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
set_gravity accepts 3 parameters: x, y, z. Required: x, y. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_gravity: 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.
set_gravity is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_gravity 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 set_gravity. 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.
set_gravity 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.
