attach_script · Godot MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What attach_script does on Godot MCP Server

AI agents use attach_script 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 attach_script needs a policy

This tool modifies a scene node by attaching a script to it, which is a reversible write operation. It doesn't delete or overwrite data destructively, but it does change the scene's structure. Misuse could attach malicious or incorrect scripts to nodes, potentially breaking game logic, hence medium severity.

attach_script Rate-limited

attach_script 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.
