- Homepage: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@keeveeg/godot-mcp
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "start_recording",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why start_recording is rated High

This tool executes an operation that initiates a recording process on a running Godot game. While recording itself is not inherently destructive, it is an Execute category action because it triggers an external operation with side effects (creating recording artifacts, consuming resources, potentially capturing sensitive game state data).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Start recording game state changes' which triggers an external operation (recording) on a running game instance."

## Use case

AI agents invoke start_recording to trigger actions in Godot. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Godot:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "start_recording": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "start_recording_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
