Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_project_setting_config is rated Medium

This tool writes configuration state to the project.godot file, which is a reversible but consequential modification. It affects project settings that control Godot engine behavior. The write is persistent (saves to disk) and could affect project functionality if incorrect values are set, but the action is technically reversible (settings can be changed back).

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Set a project setting value and save project.godot' - this modifies and persists configuration data to the project file.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_project_setting_config Rate-limited

set_project_setting_config 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.
