# watch_signals

🔴 Game must be running. Watch for signal emissions from a game node

Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `watch_signals`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp/watch-signals

## Facts

- Tool: `watch_signals`
- Server: Godot (`@keeveeg/godot-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/keeveeg-godot-mcp.md
- Install: `npx -y @keeveeg/godot-mcp`
- Homepage: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@keeveeg/godot-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 3 (2 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `path` | string | yes | Node path to watch |
| `signals` | array | yes | Signal names to watch for |
| `duration` | number | no | How long to watch in seconds |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "watch_signals",
    "arguments": {
      "path": "<path>",
      "signals": []
    }
  }
}
```

## Why watch_signals is rated Low

The tool watches/listens for signal emissions, which is a read/observe operation with no side effects. It does not modify game state, create data, or execute commands. Severity is low as it only monitors runtime events.

From the tool's own definition: "'Watch for signal emissions from a game node' — passively observes/monitors signals without modifying state"

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (path)

## Use case

AI agents call watch_signals 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "watch_signals": {}
  }
}
```
