What validate_script does on Godot
AI agents call validate_script to retrieve information from Godot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

The rule that runs validate_script 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 validate_script, this is the rule to start with:
validate_script is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 validate_script call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the validate_script 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 validate_script. 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.
validate_script 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.
