Why get_uid needs a policy

This tool retrieves file metadata (a UID/identifier) from a Godot project. It is a pure read operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive capability. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—exposing file UIDs does not compromise project integrity or enable further harmful actions without additional tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_uid' and description 'Get the UID for a specific file in a Godot project' indicates a retrieval operation that queries metadata about a file without modifying or executing anything.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_uid gives an agent:

How to control get_uid

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Godot MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_uid:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_uid": {}
  }
}

get_uid is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Godot MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
