WHAT IT DOES

What set_project_setting does on Godot

AI agents use set_project_setting 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
`key`	string	Yes	Setting key (e.g. 'display/window/size/viewport_width')
`value`	object	—	New value for the setting (string, number, boolean, etc.)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_project_setting is rated Medium

This tool modifies project settings, which are configuration data that affects how a Godot project behaves. While reversible (settings can be changed again), modifying project settings can have significant side effects including disabling security features, changing rendering pipelines, altering input mappings, or affecting runtime behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_project_setting' with description 'Set a project setting value' indicates modification of project configuration.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_project_setting Rate-limited

set_project_setting 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_project_setting call is checked against it from then on.
