create_project · Godot MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_project does on Godot MCP Server

AI agents use create_project to create or update resources in Godot MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_project needs a policy

Creating a Godot project is a reversible write operation—it generates new project files and directories that can be deleted or modified. While it produces artifacts in the filesystem, it does not execute arbitrary code, destroy existing data, or move money. Classified as Write rather than Execute because project creation itself is a structured data-generation operation, not arbitrary code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'create_project' with siblings including 'create_scene', 'launch_editor', and 'run_project' that create/manipulate Godot projects. Description is empty but context indicates this creates new project artifacts.

Verdict

create_project Rate-limited

create_project 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.
